NYC Triathlon: Street Closures for Sunday's Race

The NYC Triathlon is here once again, and that means a host of street closures on the Upper West Side.

The following streets in Manhattan will be closed on Sunday from 5:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the NYC Triathlon.

Manhattan:

Henry Hudson Parkway (northbound) between West 57th Street and the Henry Hudson Bridge
West 72nd Street between Riverside Drive and Central Park West
West 79th Street between Riverside Drive and Traffic Circle (near West Side Highway)

There will also be some street closures in the Bronx, including the Henry Hudson Parkway (northbound) between the Henry Hudson Bridge and the Mosholu Parkway and Mosholu Parkway (eastbound) between Henry Hudson Parkway and West Gun Hill Road.

The organizers also announced the race will be a little bit shorter than usual due to the extreme weather conditions. The temperature is supposed to hover around 93 degrees for a high, with temperatures soaring into the 80s in the morning as the race kicks off.

The running portion of the race was shortened to eight kilometers from 10 kilometers, with runners crossing at 102nd Street instead of 110th Street in Central Park.
