A HISTORIC RIDE

Continuing education classes offered locally this fall By Lindsay Yandon lindsay@denpubs.com

Record field expected for local races By Fred Herbst fred@denpubs.com SCHROON LAKE — A record field is expected for the Adirondack Distance Festival. More than 1,200 runners are expected to toe the line in the half marathon, marathon and marathon relay Sunday, Sept. 26, in Schroon Lake. “Registration is its highest ever,” said Joel Friedman, race director. “The half marathon is sold out and at the rate the marathon registration is running, we very likely will sell it out as well. So we expect 500 registered runners for the marathon, over 600 when we include Team in Training (Leukemia Lymphoma Society) for the half marathon and probably 50-plus marathon relay teams.” The marathon and half marathon are part of the Adirondack Distance Festival. The distance festival also includes 5 and 10-kilometer road races in Chestertown

NORTH CREEK — Classes began at SUNY Adirondack just last week and with the new semester comes some innovative continuing education opportunities in North Creek. SUNY Adirondack will be offering three non-credit classes in North Creek this semester, beginning Sept 21. In May, SUNY Adirondack representatives, including continuing education director Patti Carte, met with Johnsburg supervisor Sterling Goodspeed and Gore Mountain Region Chamber president Dave Bulmer to explore the possibilities of a relationship between SUNY Adirondack and North Creek. “This has been over a year in the making,” said Goodspeed. “It is the perfect opportunity for ACC to bring their programming within the blue line and still utilize state of the art facilities.” The committee decided to offer classes this fall that target the needs of small business and entrepreneurs with hopes of expanding the program to offer team building and customer
