Swims take place in calm salt water of Lake Montauk on out-and-back courses. Wet suits are recommended in spring when water temperatures are normally around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Bike courses follow historic Montauk routes, are out-and-back, and include some hills. Hardshell helmets with ANSE approval and bar end plugs are mandatory. The event follows USA Triathlon policy of no drafting. There are no water stops on the bike courses; run courses have water at one mile intervals. Run routes include challenging hills and do not allow electronic devices such as iPods or MP3 players, with the exception of smartphones.
The race is USAT sanctioned; participants must present a valid USAT license or purchase a one-day license.
