“Who Will Take The Tankards?” – The sign at the end of Spring Street near St John’s Church has popped up again! What does it mean?

It means the Church Tavern Biathlon is ready for its 6th year! The 7 mile biking portion of the course circles Lake Truesdale in a counter-clockwise manner (up Truesdale Lake Drive, over the dam, down Lake Shore Drive via Bouton). The run portion follows a shorter 4 mile course where runners catch a glimpse of the lake at the corner of Lake Shore Drive and Spring Street.

The South Salem Church Tavern Biathlon, is hosted by St. John’s Church and will take place on Labor Day, September 5th at 9:30am. The biathlon is returning for its sixth year in 2016.

Post race there is food, entertainment, and a kids waterslide at St. John’s Church on Spring Street.

Forward to friends who might be interested!
