Head to Rockaway Beach in Queens on May 17, 2026, for this friendly seventh-edition event that welcomes both first-timers and experienced athletes—choose between the full triathlon (400m ocean swim in 50-60°F water, 12-mile bike, 3-mile run) or the duathlon format (3-mile run, bike, run). The action starts at 7:30 AM at the B95th Street Amphitheater transition area, with the flat, scenic boardwalk route patrolled by lifeguards and NYPD Water Patrol to keep you safe, and no USAT certification required to participate.
