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