Pawling’s 280-acre Lakeside Park, with its roads, trails, and challenging mountain inclines, is the site for many races of all kinds.
There’s the Pawling Lakeside Park 5K, a cross-country race that gives runners the option of omitting or taking on the mountain; and the Pawling Triathlon, for running, swimming, and biking, with the field limited to 700 contestants over the age of 15.
For the last three years, Pawling Cycle and Sport has sponsored the Pawling Mountain Road Race, a popular and challenging group of races for all levels (see pawlingcycle.com). This year it was also the host of the New York State Road Racing Championships, and drew over 500 contestants.
