Take on the Concrete Jungle. Experience NYC on a different level with a 1500m swim in the Hudson, a 40k bike on the traffic-free Hudson Highway, and a 10k run through the city to the Finish Line in Central Park.
Attention 2022 Deferrals and Volunteers/Captains!
You must claim your entry for the 2023 New York City Triathlon produced by Life Time before the deadline on May 1, 2023 (11:59 pm ET).

Why No Lottery?
We’ve made some changes to registration for this year’s New York City Triathlon produced by Life Time. Instead of entering a lottery, racers can now register directly here on our website — without the uncertainty — guaranteeing their spot to take on the Concrete Jungle. Here’s why:
- Easier, more informed decisions for YOU. We want our triathletes to have all the information, flexibility, and peace of mind necessary to make a confident registration decision. Instead of needing to commit half a year ahead of time, you can now sign up when you feel ready (space permitting).
- More newcomers to the sport. We want our first-time triathletes to feel welcomed and prepared to experience NYC on this unique level. Since many newcomers to the sport don’t commit to a race until they feel confident they’re ready, we want to give them ample space and flexibility to advocate for the growth of our beloved sport.
- Eliminating uncertainty. With all the uncertainty surrounding athletes’ well-being (e.g., injury, sickness, etc.) and stages of life (e.g., moving, marriage, kids, etc.), general registration helps eliminate some of those questions and complex variables in the registration process.
We want YOU — our incredibly dedicated and talented athletes — to have everything you need to register for this one-of-a-kind experience in the Greatest City in the World. We hope these changes help make your registration experience easier, and we can’t wait to see you swimming in the Hudson, riding up the Parkway, and racing to the finish line in Central Park.
The Concrete Jungle awaits. We’ll see you in NYC.
Deferrals
Deferrals allow a participant unable to attend this year’s event to defer their registration to the following year ONLY.The deferral is applied only to the event in question – in this case, the New York City Triathlon. Deferrals can only be applied to the same event the following year and cannot be carried over multiple years. Deferrals must be made online one week prior to race day (Sunday, September 24), after which requests must be made in-person with Athlete Services at Race Kit Pickup.
A deferral fee of $50.00 will be administered at the time you defer. Once you completed, you will be sent an email confirmation from ChronoTrack with your unique deferral code, a code needed to register for the following year. Your registration does NOT automatically roll over to the following year – you must officially register.
If you would like to defer your entry to next year, please follow these instructions:
- Login to your ChronoTrack account
- Click “Change Race”
- Select “Defer my entry to another event”
- Follow steps to defer
How to redeem your deferral for the following year:
You will be emailed a notification (after the race date of your original registration) from the New York City Triathlon advising when you are able to register with your deferral code for the following year’s event. Your deferral code was included in your deferral confirmation email, and can be accessed anytime by logging into your ChronoTrack account.
This email notification will include the deadline to redeem your deferral. Once the deadline to redeem your deferral has passed, you have forfeited your spot and all associated fees. We will not be able to reactivate your deferral code. You will not receive any refund.
Important deferral deadlines:
For those who have deferred from the 2022 race to the 2023 event, the deferral redemption deadline is Monday, May 1st, 2023 (11:59 PM ET).
*There are no deferral fee refunds, or entry fee refunds related to expired deferrals under any circumstances.
