The event is presented by the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce and America’s Quadrathlon Association. The routes for each leg are still being established, but all will be in Indian Lake, said Len Carbonara, vice president of the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce.
Quadrathalons are increasing in popularity in Europe, but this will be the first in the U.S.
