Gear Up for Some Late Season FUN!
New England’s most fun sprint triathlon returns for the 8th year to Fantastic Nantasket Beach.
Enjoy NO HASSLE racing. There is abundant parking adjacent to The Transition Area that is convenient for participants and spectators. Enjoy a fast, scenic and mostly flat bike course with panoramic views of Boston Harbor and Boston Light. The run course is on hard-parked sand at low tide where you will enjoy the same terrific scenery. There is even a playground for the kids. Enjoy a Dunkin' Donuts coffee across the street or walk to a casual lunch after the race at The Red Parrot, Skippers, or Barefoot Bob's. Stay and enjoy a day at Fantastic Nantasket Beach.
