Congratulations 2023 Finishers!

The Canalway Challenge is celebrating another year of incredible impact.

Participants hailing from 30 states and Canada cycled, walked, ran, and paddled nearly 350,000 miles along the NYS Canal System in 2023 and 1.6 million miles since the program began five years ago. That translates into a lot of fun and fitness, plus an estimated $4 million in economic impact for local communities.

Thank you to all who participated and congratulations to all of this years' finishers! Read more about the Canalway Challenge and the stories behind the numbers in 2023 YEAR END REPORT.
