"Rotary Club does a nice job. Basically flat, with a couple inclines that re good for the legs, excellent traffic control. Real good atmosphere.
Sufficient bathrooms, although an extra one wouldn't hurt.
Good parking.
Suggest they consider asking local vendors for raffle donations."
A great race for beginner Triathletes or for participants who want to do 1-2 sprint Triathlons a summer!
The swimming portion runs parallel to the beach and the waves are typically small so early in the morning.
The bike portion has a beautiful 11.1 mile course along the Lake Minnewaska and beautiful views and the run is 2.5 miles
out and back along the Lake and finishes by a soccer field.

Coogans is a good time
I've raced Coogans several times. NYRR is a great organization and the logistics of their 5ks like Coogans is impressive. Washington Heights has a lot of culture to be enjoyed during the race. Ft Tyron Park and upper Manhattan is fairly hilly, so this is NOT like racing
