Central Park Duathlon

Get ready for a dynamic multisport race in the scenic heart of Central Park. The Central Park Duathlon and Team Boat Relay challenge athletes to push their limits with a combination of running, cycling, and rowing.

Test your endurance solo in the duathlon, which includes two 2.2-mile running segments bookending a 12-mile bike course. For a team challenge, join the Team Boat Relay, where one athlete handles the running and cycling legs while a teammate rows across the Central Park Lake, passing landmarks like Bethesda Fountain and Bow Bridge. The race starts near the Central Park Boat House parking lot, giving athletes a rare mix of intense competition, teamwork, and the chance to race through one of New York's most iconic landscapes.
