Mighty Hamptons Steve Tarpinian Memorial Triathlon
The Mighty Hamptons Steve Tarpinian Memorial Triathlon is a long-standing multi-sport event held in Sag Harbor, New York. Based at Long Beach, the race features a scenic course through Noyac Bay and the woodland and farm roads of the surrounding area. The event supports i-tri and offers several formats, including an Olympic distance, a Super Sprint distance, and an Aquabike category.
Participants can choose from the following distances:
- Olympic Triathlon: 1.5 km swim, 23.8 mile bike, and 6.2 mile run.
- Super Sprint: 300 meter swim, 6 mile bike, and 2 mile run.
- Aquabike: 1.5 km swim and 23.8 mile bike.
The swim takes place in Noyac Bay as an out-and-back course along the shore. The bike segment consists of a technically oriented course with rolling hills on paved roads. The run is a flat 10 km (for the Olympic distance) through the quiet streets of North Haven, with water stations positioned every 1.5 miles.
Road bikes, time trial bikes, mountain bikes, and hybrids are permitted, while tandem and recumbent bikes are not allowed. As a USAT sanctioned event, all participants must hold a valid USAT license and provide a notarized waiver required by the Town of Southampton. The event utilizes the ChampionChip Electronic Timing System, and athletes are required to wear a timing chip on their ankle throughout the race.
