FROM THE TEAM<br />
Hopeful Spring<br />
Spring is the season of rebirth and life.<br />
As we head into it, we’re hopeful for the<br />
promise of what the season and the great<br />
outdoors will bring. More sun, warmer days, and plenty of fun things<br />
to do!<br />
We hope the variety of articles, growing number of Calendar of Events<br />
listings, and our unique collection of advertisers inspire and motivate you<br />
this spring. So, get or keep moving to maintain or improve your fitness,<br />
participate in events or races, meet new and interesting people, explore<br />
new destinations, and do more of what you love.<br />
Our 18th annual <strong>Adirondack</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> Summer Expo is at the Saratoga<br />
Springs City Center on Saturday-Sunday, <strong>March</strong> 16-17! We’ll bring the<br />
pages of this magazine to life with 200 exhibitors, featuring running,<br />
biking, paddling, hiking, triathlon, recreation, health, fitness, and travel<br />
