CANTON -- The August duathlon ended with a sweet note for participants of St. Lawrence Valley Paddlers run-paddle-run series on Aug. 16 at the Little River boat launch.

Thirty paddlers and runners enjoyed an ice cream social after an evening event that saw teams and solo competitors complete a 1.25-mile run, then a 2-mile paddle and finally a 1.25-mile run.

The team of Josh Akins and Allen Kelly led the field with a time of 25:55. Tied at 27:09, the next two team’s runners came across the finish line in matching strides - Mary Kate Curran running for paddler Gene Newman and Jeff Lyndaker for paddler John Newman.

In solo competition, Lynn Short was the only woman willing to take to the course while the solo men field had Phil LaMarche cross the finish line in 31:06, followed by Will Siegfried at 34:09 , Bill Jemison at 36:02 and Charlie Sheen at 36:27.

The final event of the local season is Sept. 2. Registration beings at 9 a.m., with the race start at 10 a.m. in Rensselaer Falls on West Front Street for this 6-mile downstream event, finishing above the dam in Heuvelton.

There are two rapids paddlers may carry around or paddle through. Results will be announced at 11:45 a.m.. More details can be found at www.slvpaddlers.org
