RJA Memorial Triathlon

Hilary Topper On Air

I enjoyed speaking with Merle McDonald Aaron, race director of the RJA Memorial Mighty Montauk Triathlon on today's podcast.

Here are some of the questions I asked her:

Can you share the inspiration behind the Robert J. Aaron Memorial Mighty Montauk Triathlon and its impact on the Montauk community?

What makes the Mighty Montauk Triathlon stand out from other nationwide triathlon events?

The course for the triathlon is known to be both beautiful and challenging. Could you describe what participants can expect from the terrain and scenery?

Safety is crucial for any event like this. How do you ensure the safety of all participants during the swim, bike, and run segments?

Preparing for a triathlon is no small feat. What advice would you give to first-time participants aiming to tackle the Mighty Montauk?

Questions about Motel Ownership in Montauk:

Owning a motel in Montauk must offer a unique set of opportunities and challenges. What inspired you to venture into the hospitality industry in such a sought-after location?

Montauk is a destination with distinct seasons. How do you keep your motel engaging for guests throughout the year, especially outside the summer peak season?

The pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to the hospitality sector. How did your motel adapt, and what changes do you think are here to stay?

The triathlon is scheduled for Saturday, June 8 in Montauk. For more information, visit https://www.mightymontauk.com/.
