Welcome to the 3rd Annual Independence Triathlon that now takes place on May 22, 2011. Please note the new date for this event. This event features a 500 meter pool swim in the amazing Nassau County Aquatics Center Pool, followed by a 3 loop, 6 mile bike ride on a closed course that takes you around the park and ends with a 2.25 mile relatively flat run through Eisenhower park on the running paths.

A portion of this year's race proceeds will be going to the Wounded Warrior Project to help support their efforts in helping our injured soldiers.

Join us for this year's race because we are going to have lots of schwag including a water bottle, Technical Running Shirt and lots of raffle prizes from Sunrise Tri Bike Shop, XTERRA Wetsuits, Fuel Belt, X-Streme Energy Drinks, Canon Cameras and Polar HR.

Come celebrate the Nation's Independence Day weekend with this fun and fast race.

Course Information:

The 500 meter pool swim is done by swimming in a snake fashion with a time trial start. The direction in each lane will be one way. Racers will swim 10 lenghts of 50 meters. Racers will go off in 5 second intervals and prior to the swim start you will be able to self seed yourself based on your 500 meter time. There is plenty of room in each lane for passing and flip turns at the wall will be allowed.

The flat and fast bike course is made up of 3 loops inside the park. The Direction of the course is counter clockwise and will be controlled by the Eisenhower Park Security and will be closed to vehicle traffic. This is a draft-free event! You must know the rules! All athletes must have ansi-snell or CPSC approved helmets to participate. No Ipods of any type of Headphones are allowed while riding. This will result in an Automatic DQ.

The run course is two loops inside Eisenhower Park on the running paths. We'll have Water and Gu at each stop being handed out by some great volunteers.
