AdkSports.com Facebook.com/AdirondackSports • Instagram.com/AdirondackSports ISSUE #281 FROM THE TEAM Summer Outdoor Activities JUNE 2024 5 Summers in Upstate New York are the best! We encourage you to take advantage of it – do more, see more and have more celebrations with those you love. Our region has so much to offer with beautiful destinations of all kinds, plus many outings, events and races. If you’re thinking about going longer, further or faster, do something about it now. Register and train or practice for an activity, event or race you’ve been longing to do this summer or fall – or sign up for a skills clinic or a touring event. Try a new trail (dirt or water), hike (near or far, and walking counts), or paddle at some new locations to mix it up this summer. Embrace the challenge, achieve your goals or simply relax and unwind – whatever makes you happy. We hope you enjoy the June issue – our 24th year of publishing this magazine, with articles that will help you “embrace opportunities as they come” like this month’s Athlete Profile, Lisa Chase. It’s packed with features on hiking, running, paddling, biking, swimming, triathlon, events, results, and community contributions that celebrate and honor life. While we’re here, it’s important to embrace each moment, seek new experiences, and believe you deserve a good life Please support our advertisers and we’ll see you out there!
