Sunday in November There are approximately 30 local running clubs, 10 triathlon / cycling teams & 50 local charities that sponsor teams that compete in both racesWhile there is moderate turnover in the triathlon / cycling teams year-to-year, the turnover among the running clubs exceeds 50% which provides a recurring sampling opportunity for Clif BarThe NY Road Runners Assn provides blitzing opportunities at its
