Flight School at the Dirt Disco
"JUMPIN"
Overview
Jumps are becoming a staple of modern trail systems because they are incredibly fun. However, they must be ridden with proper technique and discretion.
Mountain biking risks can be greatly mitigated with good technique and a realistic perception of your ability. Our goal is to help you start small, build deep confidence, and eventually master the "A" lines with serious flow.

The CNY Triathlon Club was formed in January 2000 to serve triathletes and other multisport enthusiasts of all abilities by providing support, education, group workouts, and events to encourage and promote triathlon as a sport that is part of a healthy lifestyle.
We have had kid's tri training in the past and are continuing with a kid's tri program. Parents are welcome to be involved and help run the kid's training. In the last two years we have been providing more support for high schoolers by adding a high School Sprint Wave at the Caz Tri. The sponsor, CNY Triathlon Club also can provide clothing, bikes and equipment for high schoolers. Girls have a special advantage as 40 universities and colleges now have NCAA Women's Triathlon teams and offer scholarships for female triathletes!
Donate: There is a high school triathlete program donation button where all donations will be directed toward high schools triathletes for nutrition and wellness training,, swim lessons, group training, equipment and more.
Most of that funding for these programs comes directly from individuals who have registered for the Cazenovia Triathlon! Cazenovia Tri is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the CNY Triathlon Club.
The Life Worth Living 5K Run and Walk at Abbott Farms is an event to raise awareness to prevent suicide.
The 5K course is open to all, whether looking for a competitive race or just a fun time. Certainly unique, the road and trial course will run through various areas on the farm. The 5K course will include the roads through the housing development behind Abbott Farms. The course also includes a very special memorial orchard remembering over 80 victims with local ties who lost their battle to suicide. Not your average race! Runners will be timed utilizing chips.
At Abbott Farms, there will be ice cream, bakery goods, berry picking and a variety of other family fun activities. And don't forget to visit the baby animals in the barnyard. The Cider House Grille will be open with a full menu of grilled entrees and treats. Abbotts is well known for providing lots of fun on the farm for families and kids!
The event is in memory of Zach Helfrich, a former employee of Abbotts. All who knew Zach remember his smile, sense of humor and kindness. Zach had just turned 19 and graduated Baker High School. He was headed to Virginia Tech and accepted into the prestigious Corps of Cadets, US Army ROTC. Military service was his lifelong dream. We were incredibly proud of him. Sadly, Zach unexpectedly took his life on the morning of August 16, 2019. Let's celebrate our love for Zach as well as others who lost their lives to suicide, at the Life Worth Living day at Abbotts. With your help, we can raise awareness to prevent other similar tragedies.
The Zach Helfrich Memorial Fund, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Our mission is to build awareness, support effective treatment programs and reduce the prevalence of suicide among young people in our communities. To date, we have raised over $170,000, all of which has stayed in our community to support programs to reduce suicides among our teenagers and young adults. Among other things, we have established an endowment in Zach Helfrich's name to support the Upstate Medical University's Psychiatry High Risk Program which is a highly effective outpatient treatment center for adolescents and young people at high risk of suicide. They have phenomenal success and are truly saving young lives. We are also supporting the new Mental Health Respite Program at Elmcrest Children's Center in Syracuse which provides residential care for children and teens in crisis.

Join us for a historic 10K Road Race along the Oswego River starting in Phoenix NY. This course will quickly become one of your favorites. This race had a huge following in the mid 80's through early 90's, and we'll stick with the original course. It's flat, fast, and beautiful as it parallels the Oswego River for the entire loop course. You'll start at Lock Island Park and immediately cross the Oswego River on the Phoenix Bridge. You'll then run north along the river on Pendergast Road, glimpsing the river between open fields, woods, and homes along the way. At the half way point you'll turn right to make a second crossing of the river at the single lane Hinmansville Bridge built in 1915. A short jaunt through the woods on a packed dirt road will connect you to River Road to run back into the village of Phoenix and a finish at Lock 1. This would be a great prep race for your fall half marathon or marathon!
Funds raised will go toward supporting the Schroeppel Historical Society.
Less than a week remains for your chance to win a Nathan Zipster Max Running Belt. Size: Unisex Small. Register by 11:59 PM on March 16th for your chance to win. The lucky runner will be announced on St. Patrick's Day!
Earlybird registration just $40 through April 14, 2026! Race fee will increase to $50 on April 15th, and $60 two weeks prior to the race. Sign up now and save!
A new race presented by Miles & Macros:
Which way you start your loop will depend on your bib number and a coin toss. Once you complete the loop and are back at the aid station, you will go out the way you just came in and complete your next loop the opposite way.
This ensures safety and camaraderie. This also adds a different kind of challenge.
How many loops can you get in in 3 hours?!!?
