Alpha Win Expands Big Apple Triathlon with New Duathlon Event for 2026

July 22, 2026

The Run-Bike-Run format opens the iconic New York City race to cyclists and runners looking to skip the swim.

NEW YORK, NY — July 22, 2026 /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Alpha Win, a leader in premier endurance sports production, announced today the addition of a brand-new Duathlon division to the 2026 Big Apple Triathlon lineup. This exciting run-bike-run addition expands the event’s footprint, offering a high-octane alternative for athletes looking to experience New York City’s ultimate multisport event without hitting the water.

The Duathlon will debut alongside the traditional Sprint and Olympic triathlon distances and the recently announced Draft-Legal Sprint Cup, cementing the Big Apple Triathlon’s debut as the region’s most inclusive and dynamic multisport festival of the year.

“Our goal has always been to lower the barrier to entry and get as many people moving as possible,” said Tommy Struzzieri, CEO of Alpha Win. “The Duathlon opens the door for a massive community of runners and riders who want the thrill of the Big Apple Triathlon but prefer to stay on dry land. It’s a major step forward in making this one of the most diverse and accessible endurance events in the country.”

By removing the swim component, the Duathlon provides a perfect gateway for pure runners, dedicated cyclists, and multisport newcomers. Participants will still get the full, high-energy big-city race experience, tackling a fast and scenic course through NYC’s iconic streets and waterfronts.

Duathletes will enjoy the same world-class course design, elite athlete support, and vibrant spectator energy that Alpha Win events are known for.
