KIfan73 Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 This sounds like a great event for a great cause: http://www.triforjoe.com/ I wanted to do some multi-sport events this summer, and I wanted to go back to Coney, so I might be able to kill two birds with one stone! Anyone on here ever participated in, or been to this event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I see that the event this year is being held on May 29th. Typically this was held the weekend before Memorial Day weekend (which this year Memorial day falls on Monday, May 31st). In years past, this event was held before both Coney Island and Sunlite Pool officially opened for the year. This is important since the swimming portion of the triathalon takes place in Sunlite Pool. Naturally, there may be some logistical issues with the park being open that day, but since the triathalon starts early in the morning, it likely will not impact normal park operations. If memory serves me right, this will be about the fourth or fifth Tri for Joe that Coney has hosted. It is a great event, and generally well attended.

KIfan73 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 Well, I've ran a few 5k runs, and have been on the bike a lot, so I'm hoping to participate in May! About 6 more weeks to get ready... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Yep. It is definitely a great cause. And I know that in years past the Joe that the event was named after has been at the actual event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
