19th ANNUAL!

The HarryMan provides some of the best endurance challenges for the multi-sport athlete, and offers both "Half" Long Distance and Olympic distance events. HarryMan is one of the most challenging early-season courses in the North East, and the perfect line up for Placid or Mid summer long distance events!

RACE DAY

Lake Welch Beach in Harriman State Park, one weekend before Memorial Day weekend, serves as a perfect location before the park gets busy with summer visitors! The Half starts at 9am and the Olympic at 10:30am.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A small but top notch event. A great mix of returning seasoned athletes and first time racers. The water will be cold, the hills challenging and the post race food hot. 

The Half distances are 1.2M, 56.1M, and 13.1M. The Olympic distances are 0.6M, 28.3M, 6.2M.

SWIM DESCRIPTION

The event has exclusive use of the lake on race day! There will be 15 minutes of swim warmup before each race distance starts. The swim 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. The Half Distance will circle the course two times clockwise – keeping the buoys on your right. The Olympic Distance will circle the course one time. When you exit the water you will have a run up the beach to the Transition Area.

Foot-washing bins will be placed en-route to wash sand off your feet. Follow signs into the transition area. When you cross the timing mat at TA1 your swim time will end. After you complete your transition to the bike, you will exit the transition area out the opposite side from where you entered. We cannot have over 150 racers start at a time – so we will wave starts of approximately 80-100 people per wave. You will receive your wave assignments on event day.

BIKE DESCRIPTION

A classic gorgeous, yet challenging 14 mile loop of Harriman State Park. You will exit Lake Welch Parking Lot bear to your right onto Lake Welch Drive. Bear to the right once again to descend the long downhill. SLOW DOWN completely at the bottom to make hairpin turn and then bear right to ascend Tiorati Brook Rd. At the end of the road, carefully go 3/4 of the way around Tiorati Circle and head south on Seven Lakes Drive. Straight through Kanauwake Circle and take the U-turn, followed by a right turn at Lake Welch to bring you past the Bike Aid Station and then to the end of the loop. You do not need to return to the main event area (transition area) in between laps. Once you've completely all your laps you will bear right to head to the Transition Area. The “Bike End” location is the same as the “Start Bike” location. Put your bike on the rack and exit TA2 on the opposite end to start your run. The Bike Aid station is located at the end of each lap near the entrance to Lake Welch Beach parking lot. There is a drop zone just prior and immediately after the Aid Station. This is the only area where you are permitted to discard your used water bottles. You can also pick up a new water bottle and electrolyte at this location. We will have nutrition available as well.

RUN DESCRIPTION

As you exit TA 2 follow the cones along the beach path. Signs, cones and arrows will lead you along the beach to the paved west entrance road. Crossing Rt 106 (marshal onsite) you will continue onto St John Rd. (*newly made into a gravel road). At the end of St John's you will turn left to run the shoulder of Lake Welch Drive. USE CAUTION and run on the shoulder or grass, as you will have approaching cyclists and cars. Complete your turnaround at the aid station along Lake Welch Drive and head back to the transition area. Cones will line the entire run course. There will be run aid stations approximately every 1.5 – 2.0 miles on the run courses. Aid stations will have water, electrolyte, assorted gels, energy chews, soda, savory snacks, sweet snacks, fruit, broth and more!
