TUPPER LAKE - More than 100 paddlers competed in the Tupper Lake 9 Miler on Saturday in Simond Pond. The Adirondack Watershed Alliance hosted the event, which was a New York Marathon Canoe and Kayak Racing Association points race.
The course took paddlers across Simond Pond, up the Raquette Rvier to the Oxbow and around the river to the state Route 30 bridge before turning left and back to the finish line.
The Tupper Lake 9 Miler is part of a series of paddle sport events organized by The Adirondack Watershed Alliance (AWA) based in Lake Clear, New York. The AWA was formed to assure the continued promotion and organization of paddle sport activities, develop a stewardship network to enhance recreational opportunities and provide outdoor employment. The AWA coordinates the Adirondack Canoe and Kayak Series, including the Adirondack Canoe Classic, offers clinics and trips and encourages cooperation between all recreational users of the waterways of the Adirondack Forest Preserve.
