Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY

Running here centers on the flat Mohawk River corridor and canal towpaths—the Mohawk Towpath Byway Duathlon proves the riverbank's appeal—though serious elevation comes in the nearby Helderbergs and Catskills within 30km. Cyclists have excellent gravel and road options: the Farmer's Daughter Gravel Grinder covers 101km of rural terrain, while the NY Capital Region Road Race and NYSBRA Road Race Championship run 143km through the rolling Hudson Valley foothills. Winter is long and snowy; spring through fall offer the best conditions for both disciplines.
