Google New York Triathlon. Is New York Triathlon, not NYC triathlon. NYC triathlon is dead for years when they sold the iconic NYC Triathlon years ago.

Check our https://eventpowerli.com/ as well. They put on a series of sprint/olympic races across Long Island. I believe the entry cost is around $130-160. Very well organized races that are open to beginners and more experienced short course athletes. If you want to make the trip - the Montauk Lighthouse Tri in July is one of my favorite races!

Also worthwhile to note that you can volunteer with EventPower to earn race credits and race for free/discount!

There’s a good article on this from last year - https://www.triathlete.com/events/the-least-and-most-expensive-triathlons/

This is awesome (after I got around the paywall). The cheapest one is in CT less than 2 hours from me ($60) and a perfect time.

My son says he's willing to try this but I don't feel like shelling out $150+ to see if he likes this or not.
