From the organizers
Race Start Time and Location:
Oh, how we love our Rockaway Beach! We are back once again in the iconic Rockaway Beach in Queens for our 7th Annual Rockaway Beach Triathlon/Duathlon on 9/13! Unlike our May edition of the race, the weather and the water temperature is most optimal! With a gorgeous ocean view and smooth, concrete boardwalk, it makes for a great running and biking course. As this is an open water event in the Atlantic, the swim can sometimes be challenging with big waves, strong currents. Wetsuits are optional since the water temperature is still warmer around this time.
