It’s amazing how much your life can change in just 11 weeks.
The biggest benefit to joining this program is the coaching, support, camaraderie and feeling of being part of a team! Anyone can follow a plan and sign up for a race, but to be part of a team that is there to support and encourage you every step of the way changes your entire experience! We host socials, pasta parties, tailgates, volunteer opportunities, training camps and more.

What past participants have to say:

“The Mightyman Montauk Triathlon was by far the hardest and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done and I couldn’t be happier to have done it! The Empire Beginner Program comes with a group of incredible coaches to help guide and push you as well as a group of people who are in the same boat you are. It’s not about how fast each person finished, or how well you did, but that we all finished, therefore we all crushed it! I am so thankful to everyone for all the support along the way, for believing I could do this, especially when I needed the reminder.” – Rachael Freedland
