From the organizers
The Peasantman Steel Distance Triathlon Series takes place on the third Sunday of every August at Indian Pines Park in Penn Yan, New York. The race has made Triathlete Magazine's list of Best Iron Distance Races in North America for two years running, and will once again be hosting the USA Triathlon Ultra Distance National Championships! Our own 'Steel Distances' are just slightly longer than traditional triathlon distances, due to a longer bike course. With twelve races to choose from - sprints through ultras - there is a race for you. Online race registration always closes at 5pm on the Friday immediately before the race. Registration during packet pickup on Saturday is allowed, but only in person.
