Long Beach Biathlon
The Long Beach Biathlon is an annual run-and-swim event in Long Beach, NY held in July. The event stages separate courses for adults, teens, and children using the boardwalk and ocean swim.
- Adult Race: 3 mile run, 300 yard ocean swim.
- Teen Race: 1 mile run, 150 yard ocean swim.
- Children's Race: 1/2 mile run, 50 yard shallow swim.
The adult course starts on the boardwalk between Long Beach and Monroe boulevards, runs west to New York Avenue, then returns east on the boardwalk to Riverside. Competitors pass through cones at the Riverside beach ramp entrance and proceed down a sand hill to a transition area near shore before the ocean swim.
Amenities listed for the event include a free T-shirt for pre-registrants and day-of registrants while supplies last, live online/text/email results, and free finish-line photos and same-day finish-line video. Awards are given to the top five male and female finishers in the age groups 16-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, and 60+, and all children ages 7–15 receive awards.
Registration is not yet open and is stated to open ahead of the event date. In-person registration, T-shirt, and tag pickup are available on race day before the races begin. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
