Applications are now available for the 21st Anniversary Runner's Edge - TOBAY Triathlon being held on Sunday, Aug. 24 at the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park in Oyster Bay. The triathlon consists of a 1K swim in Oyster Bay Harbor, 15K bike through Oyster Bay Cove and 5K run up to the Planting Fields Arboretum and back to the finish at Roosevelt Park.
