Bring your canoe, kayak or SUP, and paddle a beautiful section of the Esopus Creek where it meets the mighty Hudson River. Leaving from Waterside Spa at Diamond Mills (located at 2 Ferry Street, Saugerties), racers will paddle-off from Waterside Spa toward the Saugerties Lighthouse on this scenic and smooth course offering two distances, 1.5 or 3 miles, for racers of any skill level. Race as a single or double team, with top-three awards in each section. After the race, enjoy lunch at Waterside Café catered by BLACKBARN Hudson Valley, included with your entry. Waterside Spa will be offering special services to racers for a nominal cost, or make an appointment for an indulgent massage, body treatment or facial to celebrate your victory!

Please be reminded to bring your own gear, including life vests, paddle craft (canoes, kayak, or SUP), oars/paddles, and any other necessary equipment for the race. Ensuring you have all your personal items will help us run a smooth and safe event. We look forward to seeing you at the starting line!

Great timing & locations with Alpha Win!

Alpha Win is filling a void with both timing and its locations. They have brought races to some of the best places in the country and have finally given triathletes options.

Thank you for an incredible race experience.

That was my first full Ironman. I would not have wanted the experience any other way. Thank you for your efforts in keeping a small town race and treating everyone there like they were family! It was awesome!

I love Alpha Win events

I love Alpha Win events because not only are the events fun and well mapped out, with multiple volunteers and police to assist you (so you are safe and know exactly where you are going) but also because the staff is exceptional! They are so helpful and friendly! I participated in the Alpha Win Tri Camp, the Lake George Triathlon, and the Saugerties Triathlon and definitely plan on participating in the same events and attending more this year! I highly recommend and can't even express my gratitude to all the people that make these events possible!

Great races with a personalized feel!

Last season I raced the Lake George 70.3 and the Saugerties Triathlon (Sprint), and each event was like racing with friends. The Alpha Win team recognized me, and welcomed and encouraged me before and throughout each race. I often struggle to control my race day nerves but these races felt different - they were fun while still being challenging. As soon as I crossed the finish line in Lake George 2021, I made plans to enter for 2022 as my A-race for the season. I can't say enough good things about Alpha Win - I'm looking forward to another great race season!
