The Staten Island Triathlon and Duathlon takes place at Midland Beach and honors the memory of a local veteran and police officer. The event features multiple race formats, including individual and relay options, on a course that utilizes the Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk and Father Capodanno Boulevard.
Participants can choose from the following event categories:
- Triathlon: A 400 meter swim, a 12 mile bike ride, and a 3 mile run.
- Duathlon: A 2 mile opening run, a 12 mile bike ride, and a 3 mile closing run.
- Aquabike: A swim and bike event.
- Relay Teams: Options for both triathlon and duathlon for teams of 2 to 3 athletes.
The swim portion is held at Midland Beach, where water conditions are typically calm and wetsuits are optional for participants. The bike segment consists of a 12 mile course divided into three 4 mile loops on Father Capodanno Boulevard. This segment is flat with no significant elevation gain and is completely closed to vehicle traffic.
The running segments take place on the Franklin D. Roosevelt Boardwalk. For the final 3 mile run, athletes head east from the transition area by the baseball field, turn around near parking lot 5, and return to the finish line.
