Hyannis 1 Triathlon

You’ll be swimming along the shore of Nantucket Sound. Typically water temperatures are in the high 60s or low 70s. Athletes are not any further out than 100 yards from shore. The course is heavily lifeguarded and safety boats are present. Wave conditions over the years have ranged from glass-calm to a moderate chop; never “big surf” in these protected waters.

This “rolling hills” bike course leaves the shores of Craigville to enter into the historic village of Centerville, then winds its way through the stately villages of Osterville and Wianno before returning along a shore road to Craigville Beach.

The athletes head off toward the village of Hyannisport, with a quarter-mile flat run evolving into a gradual climb for a quarter-mile, then a gentle rolling grade until the last mile which is a gentle downhill grade. Two aid stations (water and fluid replacement drinks) are staffed by enthusiastic volunteers along the way.

Packet pick-up: Friday evening 5 – 7 pm at race site or 5:30 – 6:30 am morning of race. All participants: bring photo ID and proof of USAT membership. You will NOT be able to pick up packets for other participants! All Relay Team members must be present to pickup their race packet.

Join experienced race veterans and triathlon newcomers alike for a true Cape Cod tradition: the Hyannis Triathlon. Along with its sister race in September, this is the longest-running triathlon in the East!

The location is the very scenic Craigville Beach — about 20 minutes from the bridge over the Cape Cod canal. The swim, bike and run courses are suitable for experienced athletes as well as by fitness enthusiasts who have trained for the distances. The race features special features for elites, age groupers, first-timers, even for family and friends who wish to race together! And we are proud to host New England’s largest triathlon relay team competition!

Make your plans now to dial in your training for the June race…and then test yourself once again at our Hyannis 2 race in early September!
