After a damaging nor’easter dashed plans for the original IRONMAN USA - Northeast 70.3 at Jones Beach triathlon, the event was rescheduled for today, October 24, 2026. This time, Mother Nature cooperated!☀️ Nearly 1,000 dedicated athletes are currently swimming 1.2 miles 🏊♀️, biking 56 miles🚴 and running 13.1 miles!
The members of the New York State Park Police Long Island District are providing safety and security for all participants, spectators and staff, securing the waterways, the roadways, the beachfront and the boardwalk of iconic Jones Beach State Park. Additionally, specially trained members of the New York State Park Police are providing drone overwatch of the event, conducting K9 explosive sweeps and staffing the Joint Operations Center.
Additionally our members participated in a color guard opening ceremony early this morning, culminating with the National Anthem just prior to the start of the race🫡
Our members ensure that these world class athletes can focus on their triathlon while we keep them and their families safe. Good luck to all our athletes today!!
