Greenfield Triathlon - Greenfield, MA
The Greenfield Triathlon is an annual multi-discipline event held at the Green River swim area in Greenfield, Massachusetts. The course uses the river for the swim and local back roads for the bike and run, passing the Eunice Williams Covered Bridge and rolling countryside.
The event offers both individual and team entries for two race formats:
- International: Swim 0.63 miles, Bike 30.28 miles (4 loops), Run 6.5 miles
- Sprint: Swim 0.31 miles, Bike 15.14 miles (2 loops), Run 3.08 miles
Racing is conducted under USA Triathlon (USAT) rules and the event is USAT sanctioned. All competitors must hold a USAT annual membership or purchase a one-day license; one-day licenses are not available for youth 17 and under. Wetsuits are recommended for the swim. The Green River is tested weekly for water quality and, if standards are not met, the swim may be replaced by a short run.
The triathlon includes age-group awards, overall awards and special awards. Entry limits and fees are set by the organizers; minimum age to compete is 10 on race day. Race proceeds support the Greenfield Recreation Department and benefit local programs and events. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
