The 43rd Empire State Winter Games (ESWG) Torch Relay kicked off Sunday, Jan. 29 from two starting points, Buffalo and New York City, as the beginning of its five-day journey that culminates in Lake Placid for the Opening Ceremony of the Feb. 2-5 Games. As a presenting sponsor Zappone Chrysler Jeep Dodge joins dozens of communities to welcome the torch relay along the two routes that will merge in Lake Placid. The torch relay is expected to involve up to 30 communities, schools, sports clubs, mascots, arenas and other venues as the ESGW flame winds its way east and north. In connecting three corners of New York state, the relay symbolizes a unifying spirit, inspiration and resilience as the ESWG celebrates the power of sport and community. At some stops, the torch will be feted with parades and by local athletes and teams, dignitaries and special ceremonies.
Upon the torch’s arrival in Lake Placid Thursday, Feb. 2, the Opening Ceremony will take place and the competition begins the next day. The ESWG, the largest multi-sport amateur athletic winter sporting event in North America, is expected to draw around 2,000 athletes competing in more than 30 events in Lake Placid, Saranac Lake, Tupper Lake, Paul Smiths and the surrounding area. Registration is still open for participants. Visit empirestatewintergames.com.
