The city’s iconic swim-bike-run event, the Big Apple Triathlon, is returning after a two-year hiatus, drawing around 1,300 participants eager to tackle the Hudson River as part of the challenge. Organizers have revived the long-standing tradition, offering athletes a chance to test their endurance in a classic triathlon format. With the event set to take place this weekend, competitors will navigate the swim leg before transitioning to biking and running segments. The revival marks a notable return for the city’s only dedicated triathlon of its kind.


It’s about tide! After two years of dormancy, the city’s only swim-bike-run event — now called the Big Apple Triathlon — will make a comeback Saturday with some 1,300 endurance enthusiasts expected to jump in (to the Hudson, that is).
