SYRACUSE, NEW YORK - JUNE 28-29, 2008

The City of Syracuse is one of the newest stops on the TriAmerica Tour. Syracuse has been appropriately called the Crossroads of New York State, due to its central location and the fact the State's two major interstate routes, the east-west New York State Thruway (Interstate 90) and north-south Interstate 81 intersect here. The Greater Syracuse area is a region of rolling hills, flat plains, lakes and streams and offers a beautiful setting for TriAmerica. The gently rolling terrain stretches north of the city for 30 miles, where it meets Lake Ontario. The Finger Lakes begin 20 miles to the southwest and crystal clear Oneida Lake, the venue for the TriAmerica Triathlon is eight miles northeast of the city.

Syracuse is home of many firsts, and the home of famous people like Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, and the famous Baldwin family, and now it is the home of the first ever New York stop in the TriAmerica Triathlon Series Tour!
