Description

Race Start Time and Location:

On August 25, we are back at the world most iconic city parks, Central Park, for our 39th annual New York City Duathlon. Unlike our March edition, the race will be held in the middle of NYC Summer!

Here is what you can expect on race day. At 7:30 am the race will start by the Central Park Boat House parking lot. Both Run #1 and #2 is 2.2 miles each, in out/back format.  You run along the east side and making a turn around point by the 96th street. No significant elevation gain other than at the beginning you have to run up the Cat’s Paw hill. 

The bike route consists of riding 2 loops around the entire Central Park drive. As a result of the current construction in the Harlem section of the park, Harlem Hill, we are skipping it. Instead, riders would loop around and to the west side through the 102nd street Traverse. Effectively, you are riding 5 miles per loop, 10 miles in total. The total elevation gain is about 250ft per loop. Is still a challenging route for most athletes.  

New York City Duathlon distance:

  • Run distance is 2.2 miles.
  • Bike distance is 10 miles (2 loops).
  • Run distance is 2.2 miles.

The New York City Duathlon is not USAT certified or sanctioned. USAT racing license isn’t required to compete in our race.
