On the weekend, the annual Arts & Crafts Festival takes over the 80th Street field.
Thousands of spectators to support the 3000 participants during the 17 hour event.
Before the race, I had a few days to tour the scenic area and check out their real estate. Beautiful homes line both Mirror Lake and Lake Placid. On Lake Placid, it’s all about the boat house and water front garages.  For some, it’s the only way to access their home!
They will swim 2.4 miles in Mirror Lake, bike 112 miles through Lake Placid and the surrounding towns, and then run 26.2 miles…whew!
