Join us on August 9th, 2026 for the 18th Annual Rocco Laurie Memorial Staten Island Triathlon/Duathlon, a beloved event that drew nearly 400 athletes last year and honors Vietnam veteran and NYPD officer Rocco Laurie, who gave his life serving New Yorkers in 1972. This expertly designed race features a fully closed-off bike course on Father Capodanno Boulevard and welcomes competitors to use the calm waters of Midland Beach, making it an ideal training opportunity for those preparing for longer distance races later in the season.
