Centered amidst the northern beauty of the Adirondack region,
Lake Placid is a solid choice as host for the IronmanTriathlon. The
Lake Placid course presents challenging sections on both the bike and run courses that gave last year's nearly 2,000 competitors a workout to remember. The course is nothing short of spectacular. The 2.4 mile swim takes place in the pristine
Mirror
Lake and guests of the Golden Arrow can watch it from the balconies of thier lakeside guest rooms or on the private beach. The challenging 112 mile bike course winds through the
Adirondack Mountains, and is both scenic and tough - what more could a tri-athlete want? The 24.6 mile run is no picnic, either, and offers up some of the best views in the Adirondacks including the towering ski jumps. Put it all together and you have the essence of Ironman ... a race that captures both the beauty and the challenges of the area, and the sport.
The Golden Arrow Lakeside Resort puts you in the center of all the action. Located just steps from the transition area and literally directly on Mirror Lake, you could not find a more central location both during training and on race day. Supportive fans will find the resort a very convenient base of operations on race day, and the athletes themselves will enjoy only having to walk a few steps to get to thier beds on race day! The staff of the Golden Arrow is proud to have been active volunteers in every Ironman for the past decade and all of the rest to come. For those staff who have to work on race day enjoy encouraging the athletes pre-season, during the training period. That's right, we have special IronMan Training Discounts just for you! You work really hard, we think you deserve a break!
