About the race
The Hyannis 2 Triathlon is a multi-discipline endurance event held at Craigville Beach in Centerville, Town of Barnstable MA. Running for over four decades, the event offers sprint and Olympic triathlon distances along with duathlon, aquabike, and aquathlon options on courses that use the beach, local village roads, and coastal views.
Swim courses are held in Nantucket Sound from Craigville Beach, with water temperatures typically in the low 70s and a large team of certified open-water lifeguards on duty. Bike routes travel a single loop through Centerville, Osterville and Wianno on well-paved roads with police-protected intersections; the sprint bike is described as rolling hills. Run legs follow local roads toward Hyannisport with mile markers and staffed aid stations supplying water and replacement drinks.
Event formats and distances include:
- Sprint triathlon: 1/4 mile swim, 10.2 mile bike, 3.6 mile run
- Olympic triathlon: 0.9 mile swim, 20 mile bike, 6.2 mile run
- Duathlon: 1.4 mile run, 10.2 mile bike, 3.6 mile run
- Aquabike and aquathlon options mirror swim and bike or swim and run distances
Competition divisions cover age group rankings, first-timers, casual friends and family, elites, Clydesdale/Athena by weight class, para-triathletes, relay teams, and a virtual category. The event is USA Triathlon sanctioned; USAT membership or a one-day license is required, results contribute to rankings, and standard USAT rules apply. E-bikes are not permitted and bikes remain in transition until the course is clear. Awards are presented for top finishers across divisions.
