The Philipstown Greenway Committee announced that registration will begin
July 1 for the First Annual Hudson Highlands Greenway Triathlon. The race
planned for September 24, 2006 includes trail-running and biking segments
that traverse the hills and roads throughout Town, and a kayak race to
Bannerman's Island. The event is co-sponsored by the Philipstown Greenway
Committee and the Hudson Highlands Land Trust. Greenway Chair Michael McKee
described the event. "Competitors will challenge themselves on
Greenway-designated footpaths, bike trails and the Hudson River Water Trail.
We designed the route to highlight our connection to the state Greenway
trail system."

Town Supervisor Bill Mazzuca looks forward to the event. "We are fortunate
to have a wide variety of outdoor recreation opportunities in our Town, all
of which are unique. There are easy walking paths through historical sites,
rugged trails to scenic vistas and access to the Hudson. This race is a
community event that celebrates our diverse landscape and will bring us
another step closer to completing a Greenway trail system in Philipstown."
