New York's newest aquathlon:

The Self-Transcendence Swim/Run in Harriman State Park in upstate New York consists of a 1 km swim at Lake Welch Beach and a 10 km run through the forest and following the shores of Lake Welch.

Through a well marked and beautiful course, home-made lunch, medals for all finishers and especially a large community of committed and encouraging volunteers we try to offer a race atmosphere where beginners and veteran athletes alike can excel and transcend their own previous limits.

Sponsored by the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in conjunction with the NYS-OPRHP Parks System. Registration is from 8:15 am to 9:30 am on race day and the start of the race is at 10:00 am.

This year's field limited to 100 participants.

Self-transcendence gives us joy in boundless measure. When we transcend ourselves, we do not compete with others. We do not compete with the rest of the world, but at every moment we compete with ourselves.
