The NYTRI: Rockaway Beach Tri/Duathlon is a summer-to-fall classic that brings athletes out to the scenic shoreline of Rockaway Beach in Queens, NY. This year’s event takes place on Sunday, September 14, 2025, and includes two race formats—a triathlon (swim, bike, run) and a duathlon (run, bike, run)—making it an ideal race for both experienced competitors and first-time participants.

Organized by NYTRI, this race features a flat, fast course with ocean views, welcoming vibes, and a supportive community of racers. The manageable distances (including a 300-meter swim, 20K bike ride, and 5K run) make it accessible without sacrificing the thrill of a multi-sport challenge.
