Join us on Saturday, May 19th, 2012 at New York's Harriman State Park for the eight annual HarryMan Triathlons. 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.

Course Information:

Harriman State Park is the perfect location for an early season race! Whether you are looking to get into the water for the first time this season or gearing up for a mid season Full Ironman - this is YOUR race! Gorgeous Woods Swim, Challenging Cycling Climbs with little car traffic & Back-Roads Running! 

Swim Course
Lake Welch's Beach is a great venue for the 2012 HarryMan. The beach and swimming area does not open to the public until Memorial Day, which gives HarryMan exclusive use of the entire area! This means that the only time you can swim in the lake will be 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. The Park has also requested that there are to be no pets or alcohol at Lake Welch. 

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 orange 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 to the Transition Area on the sand and down the cement walkway. Foot-washing bins will be placed en-route to wash sand off your feet. At the end of the walkway enter into the parking lot to reach the transition area. When you cross the timing mat at TA1 your swim time will end. Enter the Transition Area at - "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 starts of approximately 100 people per wave. You will receive your wave assignments closer to the event date.

Bike Course
The bike course will be a gorgeous loop in Harriman State Park. The link to the map is below. The bike course for 2012 is a 14-mile loop that will start at Lake Welch. You will exit Lake Welch Parking Lot and bear right onto Lake Welch Drive. Continue down the hill on Lake Welch Dr. (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 stay to the right and bear onto Tiorati Brook Rd. Climb up gorgeous Tiorati Brook Rd over the dam to Tiorati Circle. You will travel 3/4 of the way around the circle and head South on Seven Lakes Drive. About 2.5 miles onto Seven Lakes drive you will descend toward Lake Askoti and Lake Skannatati. (USE CAUTION AS CARS WILL BE ENTERING AND EXITING THE PARKING AREA). Soon after you will arrive at Kanawauke Circle. Continue Straight through the circle remaining on Seven Lakes Drive South towards the Lake Sebago Entrance. Just after you pass the Lake Sebago entrance on your right - move to the left side of the road to prepare for the immediate U-turn on Seven Lakes Dr., then move immediately right again to make a right turn onto Lake Welch Dr. Climb up the hill to the Lake Welch Circle to complete the loop. Half distance will loop four times and Olympic distance will loop two times. After you complete your laps, you will return to the Transition Area via the main 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".
