COURSE: Swim: 1.2 Mile, Bike: 56 Miles, Run: 13.1 Miles

Montauk is a quaint fishing and surfing town on the eastern most tip of Long
Island. The town is known for its natural beauty and sports enthusiastic visitors.

Montauk is one of the birthplaces of triathlons. The sport is growing and athletes want to challenge themselves with longer events. There are few metro area triathlons of this distance. In addition to providing a venue for the athletes this event will showcase Montauk at a time when the weather is still nice but the summer crowds are not as heavy.

This is a great family weekend to spend on the east end with a beginner triathlete Sprint Race on Saturday.

SWIM - 1.2 Miles

Out and back swim in Fort Pond, Fresh water with temperature in the mid to upper 60s.

BIKE - 56 Miles (2 laps)

Two laps on a 28-mile loop with rolling hills and beautiful ocean and bay views.

One aid station (water and energy gels) at approx. mile 28.

RUN - 13.1 Miles (2 laps)

Two laps on a challenging hilly 6.55 mile course
