Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin and the Town Board invite members of the public to register for the annual Town of Hempstead Triathlon. The triathlon is scheduled for September 17, 2022 at 8AM and will be held at Town Park Point Lookout, located at 1300 Lido Boulevard, Lido Beach, along the township’s south shore. The roughly 14-mile signature athletic event will allow participants to enjoy the beautiful coastal environs of America’s largest township while competing to be the first-place finisher in the widely acclaimed competition.
