Hyannis 1 Triathlon : Craigville Beach, Cape Cod
The Hyannis 1 Triathlon is a multisport event held at Craigville Beach in Centerville, Town of Barnstable, with a long history and a variety of race formats. The event includes both Sprint and Olympic triathlon distances and also offers duathlon, aquabike, aquathlon and relay team competitions. It is presented as the 45th season of the Hyannis Triathlon.
Swim courses take place in Nantucket Sound. Sprint swimmers cover a 1/4 mile course close to shore; athletes typically remain within 100 yards of the beach and the swim area is lifeguarded and supported by safety boats. Olympic swimmers complete a two-loop 0.9 mile swim that starts with a running time-trial from the sand.
Bike routes travel on a single scenic loop that begins at Craigville Beach and passes through Centerville, Osterville and Wianno. The Sprint bike is 10.2 miles; the Olympic bike is about 20 miles with a second loop that reconnects to the earlier portion of the course.
Run courses follow shore roads toward Hyannisport with rolling terrain and a gentle downhill finish. Aid stations with water and replacement drinks are positioned along the run routes.
Race categories include age group divisions, first-timers, casual competitors, elites, Clydesdale/Athena, para-triathletes and relay teams. Registration and packet pick-up procedures are provided by the organizer. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
