Swim The swim is FAST – swim with the current in the Hudson River - Triathlon’s fastest swim.

Cabs Transition, swim start, and the Central Park finish are a cab or subway ride from all New York hotels. To get a cab in New York, stand on the street and stick your arm in the air.

Blackberries and Cell Phones Please don’t bring your blackberry with you during the race. You’re not that important.

Hudson River The Hudson is clean – you don’t need shots.

Lost and Found and Post Race Clothing There is no lost and found so don't lose your stuff. There is a bag drop at swim start (MUST be in a race bag with your number). All bags will be brought to the finish area. Your transition items will remain in transition until you pick up your stuff. Transition and bag pick up at the finish closes at 3:00 pm. Anything not claimed will be donated to the nearest dumpster.
