Transcript of Athlete Guide

The people of the Oneida Indian Nation extend warm greetings to you as you visit our ancestral lands and Turning Stone Resort Casino, home of the third annual Turning Stone Races.

This is just one of many thrilling sporting events that we host during the year. Turning Stone has become synonymous with world-class sports, as we regularly welcome the best in golf, boxing, lacrosse and of course, running, to our lands.

You will find that the Oneida’s dedication to the area combined with the hard work of our employees shows in everything we do. As the top tourist destination in Central New York, Turning Stone serves as an ambassador for the region, offering the best in accommodations and dining. In fact, AAA again bestowed the prestigious Four Diamond Award on The Lodge, The Tower and Wildflowers restaurant.

Again, we are excited to be hosting this event and we wish all participants a memorable race. We look forward to sharing our traditional welcome, ShekÓli, and introducing you to our beautiful ancestral lands and fabulous resort.
