July 15, 2010 Update - Ironman Lake Placid 2010 sign up is closed! Sign up now for Ironman Lake Placid 2011!

Centered amidst the northern beauty of the Adirondack region, Lake Placid is a solid choice as host for the Ironman Lake Placid Triathlon. The Lake Placid course presents challenging sections on both the bike and run courses that gave last year's nearly 2,500 competitors a workout to remember. The course is nothing short of spectacular. The swim takes place in the pristine Mirror Lake. The challenging bike course winds through the Adirondack Mountains, and is both scenic and tough -what more could a triathlete want? The run is no picnic, either, and offers up some more great scenery, along with some more challenging hills. 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.


This year EST will be offering a unique ground package to Ironman Lake Placid. We have put together, what we feel, is the best opportunity for you to compete at Ironman Lake Plaicd at an affordable price!

EST's Ground Package to Ironman Lake Placid includes:

  • Race Entry
  • Accommodation at the High Peaks Resort or Comfort Inn on the Lake
  • Exclusive EST Bike Mechanic Services
  • EST Welcome Packet
  • CO2 Cartridges for Race Day
  • Breakfast Buffet (Available at Comfort Inn on the Lake only!)
  • Massage Therapist (Optional - Available Upon Reservation - $50 per hour)

  • Extra service available - Complete bike unpack and assemble $50
    Included in the package is the services of a mechanic but we ask that you unpack your bike and loosely assemble which means putting the wheels on, hand tighten the pedals, and bars. The mechanic will then tighten everything and make all needed adjustments to the gears and brakes. If you prefer to just hand your bike case to the mechanic he will unpack and completely assemble your bike for $50. If after the race you want the mechanic to disassemble and pack your bike this can also be done for a $50 charge

    The race entry slots are being offered as part of the ground package and will not be sold seperatley.
