• Description: The Contoocook Carry Triathlon (a gift from the Congoran family) was first held in 2002 to help build the town's Spirit Skateboard Park. This year, our mission is to give 100% of all proceeds directly to Fuel Assistance (through Human Services) to those who might need a little extra help with the coming winter.
  
  The "Carry" begins from Hopkinton High School with a 2 mile run to the bank of the Contoocook River and a beautiful view of Putney Hill. After putting your boat in the water, you'll paddle about 1 1/2 miles to the portage, just above the dam and bridge in the Village of Contoocook. You and your boat will portage (you carry, it rides) about 200 yards to return to the river. At the end of the paddle, you can begin the 14 mile bike through the lightly rolling country back to High School.
