Ironman Lake Placid
On July 28, 2019, athletes from around the world will descend on the alpine village of Lake Placid to test their limits in the 21st running Ironman Lake Placid. A favorite among competitors, the Lake Placid Ironman is the second oldest Ironman in North America and one of the sport's most popular courses.
The highly anticipated race begins with the swimmers entering the water at 6:30 a.m. for a 2.4 mile swim across beautiful Mirror Lake, followed by a demanding 112-mile bike leg through the Adirondack Mountains, and ends with a full marathon through the mountains and downtown that ends at the Olympic speed skating oval in the village of Lake Placid.
Ironman weekend can sell out as much as a year in advance - be sure to book your stay at one of the many Lake Placid vacation rentals for the 2019 Ironman Lake Placid competition early!
