Event Description
Welcome to the 20th year of the Hudson Valley Triathlon Club and it’s Summer Tri Series. Join us for this Sprint Triathlon we think you will find challenging and a whole lot of fun! Great for individuals and relay teams of all levels. Held in the gorgeous setting of the Kenneth L. Wilson State Park near Woodstock, NY, two hours north of NYC and one hour south of Albany.
Unfortunately we were forced to cancel our 20th year due to Covid-19 and the closing of New York State Parks. We remain hopeful and confident that our 20th season, now in our 21st year, will happen in 2021; if Covid restrictions force us to cancel, all registered participants will automatically be deferred to 2022 or able to transfer to another event that is able to be held.
