LOCKPORT, N.Y. The Canalway Challenge, an annual event that encourages residents to enjoy the outdoors along New York’s canals and Canalway Trails, is underway.
Across the state, the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor wants people to walk, run, cycle, roll, or paddle to reach goals of 15, 90, 180, or 360 miles. There is also a 1st Mile Challenge for people with disabilities.
