From the Organizer

Peasantman is brought to you by First Knight Racing - managed by certified USAT Race Director/Official Joe McMahon. It's an officially sanctioned USA Triathlon event that takes place on the third Sunday of every August at Indian Pines Park in Penn Yan, right in the heart of the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York.

Our own 'Steel Distances' are just slightly longer than traditional triathlon distances, due to a longer bike course. 

Since 2013, Peasantman has contributed over $44,000 to several organizations in the Penn Yan area. Most of these organizations are present on race day helping to bring you this event!
