Southern Tier Triathlon Club Summer Tri Series #3
This USAT‑sanctioned Super Sprint triathlon takes place in the lakeside community of Cassadaga, NY on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. The swim is held in the Lower Lake on a sandy shore; the bike and run follow nearby roads and trails around the lake. The event is described as extremely beginner friendly and the series awards points across its three races, with season honors for top finishers.
Distances:
- 400 yd swim
- 13 mile bike
- 2 mile run
The swim launches from the shore with an in-water start and a turn around a pontoon boat. Personal swim buoys are permitted; swimmers are asked to start toward the back of the pack to avoid interfering with others. The bike course is hilly and consists of right-hand turns only; there are no aid stations on the bike course and a single aid station is located in transition. The run follows the lakeshore, is mostly flat with one small bump, and includes a stocked aid station at the turn-around.
Paratriathletes are welcome. An AquaBike option is offered to individual participants only; relay teams of two or three members may enter with teammates covering event legs. Parking is provided in a free lot about half a mile from the site; riders must wear a helmet. The event includes a finisher medal, a race t-shirt (guaranteed for registrations completed at least one month in advance), a post-race potluck with provisions provided, and a beer area for guests 21 and older. No refunds are offered; advance deferral to 2027 may be permitted. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
