2010 Harryman Triathlon

Join us on Saturday, May 22nd, 2010 at New York's Harriman State Park for the sixth annual Harryman Triathlon.  Lake Welch serves as the backdrop for this early season race.  Only 30 miles from New York City, Harriman State Park's scenic beauty and hilly terrain will make you feel like you're in the Adirondacks.  We will host both the Half and Olympic races on the same day.  This race is limited to a combined field of 400. 

In 2010 we will be partnering with St. Jude Children's Hospital as our official charity partner. We'll have details soon about this great new opportunity.

The Course

Main Event Site

Swim Courses

2010 Bike Course

2010 Run Course

Lake Welch's beach and swimming area do not open for the season until Memorial Day, thus the only time you can swim in the lake for this event is during the pre-race warm-ups and during the event itself. Once the swim course is closed, there is no additional swimming or wading into the water before or after the events. Also, there are no pets or alcohol allowed at Lake Welch.

Swim Course

The swim course starts on the sandy beach of Lake Welch. The water temperatures range from 54 - 66 degrees. The swim course will be a 0.6 mile triangle marked with large orange buoys.  Smaller yellow buoys will be placed in the center of the legs to help you swim straight.  For the half event, you will circle the course two times clockwise - keeping the buoys on your right.  The Olympic event will circle the course one time.  When you exit the water you will have a long run on the sand up to the cement walkway, we place foot washing bins here to wash off the sand, then you will head down the walkway to the parking lot to reach the transition area.  You will cross the mat that will end your swim time as you approach the transition area - "Swim In".  After you complete your transition to the bike, you will exit the transition area out the opposite side from where you entered - "Bike Out".  We will wave start approximately 100 people per wave. You will receive your wave assignments closer to the event date.

Bike Course

Due to the closure of Tiorati Brook Rd. we will have a new bike course for 2010. The map is posted above. The bike course is now a 21-mile loop that will start at Lake Welch. You will exit Lake Welch Dr. and continue down the hill (EXTREME CAUTION AT BOTTOM). You will merge with Tiorati Brook Rd. and quickly need to get on the brakes to make the U-turn at the bottom of the hill. After the U-turn you will climb back up Lake Welch Dr. and down to the intersection with Seven Lakes Dr. Turn Right on Seven Lakes Dr., continue straight at Kanauwaukee Circle to Tiorati Circle. U-turn at Tiorati Circle and return back down Seven Lakes Dr. After passing the entrance to Lake Sebago, make a U-turn on Seven Lakes Dr., then move right to make a right turn onto Lake Welch Dr. Climb back up to the Lake to complete this loop. Olympic distance will circle one time, Half distance will go three times. After you complete your laps, you will return to the Transition Area via the entrance to Lake Welch.  The "Bike In" location is the same as the "Bike Out" location, you will now reverse the flow through the transition area and exit "Run Out" the same place as "Swim In".

Bike Aid Station

The Bike Aid station is located at the end of each lap near the top of the climb. There is a drop zone just prior and immediately after the Aid Station. This is the only areas where you are permitted to discard your used water bottles. You can pick up a new water bottle of orange
Gatorade or plain water at this location.  We will also have Hammergel
available.  Please yell out to the aid station volunteers, then thank them
for giving up their day for you.
