2017 New York Triathlon
Each year, thousands of athletes brave the waters of the mighty Hudson River before biking along Manhattan's West Side Highway and then running through New York's famed Central Park in the final stage of this iconic race. If this sounds exciting to you, a friend, or a family member (who does not have Marfan or a related disorder), then please email Kimberly Huddleston at khuddleston@marfan.org and join us for the New York City Triathlon on July 16, 2017, as we raise money and have some fun!
