Tappan Zee Constructors, LLC (TZC) is proud to be a presenting sponsor for Lymphoma & Leukemia Society’s (LLS) 6th annual Sleepy Hollow Sprint Triathlon and 23rd annual Hudson River Swim for Life. The New York State Thruway Authority is proud to participate in these events as well, which have become an integral part of the region’s culture. Not only have they created a venue for positive change, but they have also raised millions of dollars for a common cause.
The 6th Annual Sleepy Hollow Sprint Triathlon
The Sleepy Hollow Sprint Triathlon consists of: a half-mile swim in the Hudson River commencing at Kingsland Point Park in Sleepy Hollow, a 10-mile scenic bike ride through the legendary village, and a 3-mile run along the new and improved Hudson River Walk. The daylong event on June 29 is expected to have more than 1,000 attendees.
The 23rd Annual Hudson River Swim for Life
The Hudson River Swim for Life is a non-competitive 3-mile swim from the marina in Nyack to Kingsland Point Park in Sleepy Hollow. Swimmers will conquer the river on July 27 as kayakers and boaters provide safety assistance.
Swimmers will also have the option of participating in a 1-mile swim along the shores of Sleepy Hollow.
For the past 22 years, Swim for Life has simultaneously promoted swimming as a lifelong form of fitness and raised funds for the ongoing research of blood cancers.
These events allow the community to make a positive impact while enjoying the natural beauty of the majestic Hudson River. Overall, the events have raised approximately $2 million for blood cancer research. TZC aims to make $50 thousand in donations, and participate in the events as well.
LLS is the world’s largest voluntary (nonprofit) health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, and providing education and patient services. Learn more by visiting LLS.org
We invite you to participate as a swimmer, kayaker, runner, donor or volunteer by registering on the featured websites, and hope to see you on the Hudson this summer!
