All I see are trees” team before they begin the next leg of the race.The New York Adventure Racing Association held its Jersey Inferno race across Vernon last Saturday. The competition began with kayak races on Wawayanda Lake, followed by a cross-country mountain course through the state park and into the Hamburg Mountain Wildlife Reserve and then onto the downhill trails at Mountain Creek. Billed as “Is This Hell? No – It’s New Jersey!” the grueling course ended in footraces. Competitors were allowed up to ten hours to complete the course, but several racers became lost with some touring the back roads of Barry Lakes and some even finding their way into the Vernon town center. More information about the group can be found at www.nyara.org.
