The IRONMAN 70.3 triathlon brought athletes from across the country to Jones Beach State Park on Sept. 20 for the third year in a row. Competitors took on a grueling 70.3-mile course, which included a 1.2-mile swim in Zach’s Bay, a 56-mile bike ride on the closed Wantagh Parkway, and a 13.1-mile run along the Jones Beach Boardwalk.
Jason Quinn claimed first place with a time of three hours, 57 minutes and 54 seconds. He was followed by Benjamin Tuttle in second and Reilly Walsh in third.
Race organizers said the updated boardwalk finish line area added to the iconic energy of the event, giving athletes a memorable end to the competition.
