SARANAC LAKE - Last weekend's Adirondack Canoe Classic, a three-day race from Old Forge to Saranac Lake, was a memorable one. It not only marked the 30th running of the race, but it contained the most boats - canoes, kayaks and guideboats- ever with 275.
Many of those paddling in the event that started Friday and finished Sunday were from the Tri-Lakes Region. Below is a listing of the locals who participated in the 90-Miler, along with the winners of each class.
