Buzzards Bay Triathlon

Type: Sprint

Sprint Triathlon: 1/3 Mile Swim, 14.7 Mile Bike, 3.1 Mile Run

Buzzards Bay triathlon was a huge success. Triathletes came from near and far to appreciate the beauty of an amazing Park and course layouts. The bike course is a major highlight with views of the bay, farmhouses, and stonewalls, with fall foliage at its peak. Demarest Lloyd State Park is true hidden gem that serves as a fantastic season wrap-up!

The point to point swim takes place in the secluded cove at Demarest Lloyd State Park covering 1/3 of a mile. The temperature at the end of September will be close to 70’, so wetsuits will be optional. You’ll finish this point-to-point swim by running through one of our huge Max Arches into the transition area! You’ll then leave the Park via cheers from the fan-lined Park road.

The bike course is by far the signature leg of Buzzards Bay Triathlon. Previous competitors have described "Martha Stewart like Farmhouses and amazing stonewalls. I loved the scenery!" The course is looped with one gradual climb at Mile 3. After that, you’ve got smooth roads and beautiful views to take you through a total of 14.7 miles.

The last portion of the Tri is a 5k out and back run that travels on park and rural town roads, a good portion of which, is under a tree-lined arched Park road. Spectators line the roads to cheer you back to the finish under yet another Max Arch!
