Adirondack Races: Whiteface Marathon and Inlet Black Fly Mountain Bike Challenge
You don't have to run a marathon or bike a long distance race. This weekend there are opportunities to be an "armchair athlete" while watching these two great events. People are out and about in the Adirondacks. Lake Placid is hosting its 7th annual Lake Placid Marathon and Half Marathon while all weekend between Inlet and Indian Lake, mountain bikers will be around preparing for or participating in the Black Fly Challenge. Since the mid-90's Inlet has hosted the mountain bike challenge, appropriately named, the Black Fly Challenge . This mountain bike race alters each year between a start in Indian Lake and Inlet. This year the shuttle will leave Inlet for Indian Lake so races can prepare the the long distance race.
