Long Beach Biathlon
Long Beach Biathlon is a multisport event in Long Beach, NY that pairs a run along the boardwalk or beach with a short ocean swim. The program includes separate adult, teen, and children's races. Registration is not yet open and will open before the event. Past race results and photos have been produced for previous editions.
The event distances include:
- Adult race: 3 mile run then a 300 yard ocean swim
- Teen race: 1 mile run then a 150 yard ocean swim
- Children's race: 1/2 mile run then a 50 yard shallow swim
The adult course begins on the boardwalk between Long Beach and Monroe Boulevards, continues west to New York Avenue, then returns east on the boardwalk toward Riverside. Runners pass through cones at the Riverside beach ramp entrance, proceed down a sand hill to a transition area near shore, and then enter the water for the ocean swim. Teen and children's courses start at Riverside Boulevard and use shorter run and swim segments along the beach.
Amenities listed for the event include a free T-shirt for pre-registrants and day of race registrants while supplies last, live results delivered by multiple channels, free finish line photos, and same-day finish line video. Awards are given to the top five men and women in standard adult age groups and all children ages 7 to 15 receive awards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
