Hamilton Classic

Saturday, Undecided, '09
Hamilton, NY

Colgate University Hill Climb Time Trial
Payne Valley Circuit Road Race
Tour de Hamilton Kid's Race

The Hamilton Classic is the return of road racing to the Village. This is a multi lap course that is challenging and rewarding. It runs in the Fall with a hill time trial prelude. The time trial starts at the base of Oak Dr. and finishes at the top of the Colgate cemetery. No need to say anymore.

The Fall Classic starts from the center of town heading out to the golf course, screams past Lake Moraine, and leaps into the hills surrounding the area. The path back is a straight shot into town via Hamilton Rd. which allows for all out power and speed. Score the 'green sign' by the Sigma Chi house as an added bonus! Roar into town with a white knuckled right hand turn and sprint out the last remaining meters to the village green! Congrats and welcome home!
