The Toughman Triathlon is a Half Ironman race in the Westchester, New York town of Croton-On-Hudson, founded by chiropractor Dr. Rich Izzo. Toughman is becoming known as "the athlete's race" and is known for its attention to detail and dedicated staff, which has many years of racing experience themselves. Also, ToughKids, a growing youth triathlon series, holds its championship race on the Saturday before the adult race. And new for 2012 is a ToughTeen race taking place along with the half iron race on Sunday. The race site is beautiful Croton Point Park at the Hudson River, just 30 minutes north of the New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut and Long Island metro areas. The race website is www.toughmantri.com.

Certified Active Release doctors have been involved with both pre and post-race care of the Toughman competitors as part of the health care team at the race since the first race in 2008. In 2011, a team of 12 ART providers participated. The ART doctors work with the race coverage program of Sports Chiropractors of New York (SCNY). SCNY is a non-profit state association providing doctors for volunteer event coverage as well as continuing education programs.

Race Coverage Dates: Saturday, September 7th and Sunday, September 8th, 2013. On Saturday ART doctors provide race preparation care, and on Sunday ART doctors work alongside the general medical team (in a separate tent) providing both acute and recovery care. You do not have to work both days but are welcome to do so.
