The Sri Chinmoy Swim/Run Trio at Harriman State Park in upstate New York took place from 2009-2017. Past results can be accessed through the links below.
* Swim-Run Aquathlon: 1km swim and 10 km run. Participants can race as individuals, or part of a relay team
* 10K road race
* 1K open-water swim race
The 10 km run and 1 km swim are staged on the same course as the Swim-Run Aquathlon. The swim takes place in beautiful Lake Welch; the run is through the forest and follows the shores of Lake Welch.

Through a well marked course, home-made lunch, medals for all finishers, and an especially large community of committed and encouraging volunteers, the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team offers a race atmosphere where beginners and veteran athletes alike can excel and transcend their own previous limits.
