Stars & Stripes: Aquathlon and Swim

Just in time for triathlon season and the week before the extremely popular NYC Triathlon, here's a chance to practice open water swimming and swim-run transitions. This fun and challenging multi-sport event combines a 1.5-km swim in the Hudson River and a flat, fast, scenic 5-km run in Hudson River Park and Riverside Park. Don't run? Check out the swim-only Tune Up on the same day or help out as a volunteer. Everyone is invited to an informal, pay-as-you-go meal afterward at the 70th Street Pier Plaza.

Thank you for your patience in waiting for the results of this year's event. They are now posted on the results tab.

Application Process: Relay Entrants
We have decided against having a relay component for the Aquathlon: Stars & Stripes this year. There has been very little interest in it in recent years, and the relay aspect of the race presents a disproportionate number of logistical and administrative challenges.

For those interested in doing just the swim portion of the event, please sign up for the Riverside Park Tune-Up Swim. The Tune-Up has the same swim course as the Aquathlon, without a run following.
