Falmouth Sprint Triathlon
The Falmouth Sprint Triathlon takes place at Surf Drive Beach in the Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts. The event draws local and visiting triathletes; recent fields included participants from 28 U.S. states and 7 nations. The race is USAT sanctioned and its results count toward national and regional rankings.
Key course distances:
- 1/3 mile swim at Surf Drive Beach along the shoreline; lifeguarded.
- 8.5 mile bike alternating flat and moderately hilly sections, passing Woods Hole and Nobska Lighthouse.
- 3.2 mile run flat, well paved roads past historic homes with two aid stations.
The event offers multiple race categories, including Sprint and Olympic distances, Aquabike, Relay Teams, ParaTriathletes, Clydesdale/Athena divisions, First-Timers, Casual competitors, Elites, and a virtual Tri It Your Way option. Aquabike entrants complete the swim and bike without a run. Age group competitors are ranked in five year intervals.
Awards are given to the top three in each age group across male, female, and non binary divisions, and to top finishers in specialty categories. Race administration follows USA Triathlon rules; athletes must have a USAT membership or purchase a one day license. For safety and insurance reasons, bikes may not leave transition until all bikes are off course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
