_ The 2020 Hyannis Triathlon 2:

Join experienced race veterans and triathlon newcomers alike for the 38th year of Hyannis Triathlons – part of the New England Triathlon Tour.

These are two of the longest-running triathlons on the East Coast — and after all these years, the accolades still continue:

  • Named as one of the 20 Best Triathlons in the Nation by Men’s Health magazine (2016)
  • Named one of The Most Amazing Triathlons to Do in the USA Today by The Culture Trip (2017)
  • Voted one of the Top 5 Small Races Worldwide by the Triathlete’s Choice Awards (2018)

Both the Hyannis 1 and Hyannis 2 races start and finish at picturesque, sandy Craigville Beach. They’re challenging — but still able to be completed by fitness enthusiasts who have trained for the distances. The atmosphere is special; the views are spectacular; and your satisfaction of accomplishment will last for a long time!

USAT'S MASSACHUSETTS STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

June's Hyannis Triathlon 1 is designated as the Massachusetts State Age Group Championship (Olympic) and the MA High School Championship (Sprint) race. Age groupers: enhance your chances at making it to nationals! And high schoolers: this is the event of the year!

The State Championship Race will have a 25% qualification for the Olympic-Distance race and a 35% qualification for the Sprint-Distance race at the 2020 USA Triathlon Age Group Nationals Championships in Cleveland, OH. All finishers of High School State Championships will automatically qualify for Sprint-distance Nationals.

Course Information:

Sprint Course Description

SWIM: 1/4 mile

A sandy, waist-deep start at Craigville Beach (expect temps in the mid-70s). The course is rectangular in shape (approx 150 yards between the two turns). Wave conditions over the years have ranged from glass-calm to a moderate chop; never “big surf” in the protected waters of Nantucket Sound.

BIKE: 10.2 miles

The “rolling hills” course is a shade over 10 miles: first entering the historic village of Centerville, then winding out to the villages of Osterville and Wianno before returning along a beachside road to Craigville Beach. Single loop; and no duplication of any stretch of road!

RUN: 3.6 miles

The athletes head off toward 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. A water stop is staffed by enthusiastic volunteers at the midpoint of the 3.6-mile run.

 

Olympic Course Description

 SWIM: .9 miles

A sandy, waist-deep start at Craigville Beach (expect temps in the mid-70s). The course is rectangular in shape. Wave conditions over the years have ranged from glass-calm to a moderate chop; never “big surf” in the protected waters of Nantucket Sound.

BIKE: 20.5 miles

The “rolling hills” course is 20.5 miles long: first entering the historic village of Centerville, then winding out to the villages of Osterville and Wianno before returning along a beachside road to Craigville Beach. Two loops.

RUN: 6.2 miles

The athletes head off toward 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. A water stop is staffed by enthusiastic volunteers at the midpoint of both loops.
