Falmouth Sprint Triathlon
The Falmouth Sprint Triathlon is scheduled for July 12, 2026 at Surf Drive Beach in the Town of Falmouth, Massachusetts. The event is a USAT sanctioned race and a 2026 Massachusetts State Championships ranking point event. It has run for over three decades and regularly draws competitors from multiple states and nations.
The course features a warm saltwater swim, a scenic bike route with a short climb by Nobska Light, and a flat 5k run through a coastal New England neighborhood. The swim follows the shoreline and is lifeguarded; water temperatures reported have not been below 72°F and the swim stays within about 50 yards of shore. Wave conditions have varied from calm to a slight chop in the protected waters of Vineyard Sound.
Distances:
- 1/3 mile swim from Surf Drive Beach, water temperature never below 72°F.
- 8.5 mile bike including a climb past Nobska Light.
- 3.2 mile run flat 5k along paved coastal roads.
Multiple competitive and noncompetitive categories are offered, including age group divisions, elites, first-timers, Clydesdale/Athena, aquabike, para triathletes, relay teams, and a virtual "Tri It Your Way" option. Awards are presented in numerous divisions and results are posted within 24 hours. Parking is restricted at the race site and primary lots are located within about one mile of the venue. Bikes must remain in transition until all participants have cleared the bike course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
