Hyannis 2 Triathlon
The Hyannis 2 Triathlon in Centerville, Massachusetts, marks its 44th year and presents multiple race formats with the Sprint and Olympic courses beginning and ending at Craigville Beach. The event is USAT sanctioned and serves as a Massachusetts state championship ranking point event.
Swim starts are from a sandy, waist-deep shoreline at Craigville Beach. Typical water temperatures are noted in the event details: Sprint swims around the mid-70s, Olympic swims in the upper 60s to low 70s. Sprint swims use a rectangular course with two turns; Olympic swims use two loops extending beyond the sprint buoys.
Bicycle routes follow rolling roads through Centerville, Osterville, and Wianno and return along a beachside road to Craigville Beach. The Olympic bicycle route mirrors the Sprint route with at least one additional loop; distances are described as approximately 24 miles for the Olympic course.
The Sprint run is 3.6 miles with an initial quarter-mile flat section, a quarter-mile climb, then rolling grades and a final mile that trends gently downhill. A staffed water stop is located near the run midpoint. The Olympic run follows the same roads with an additional loop.
Race categories include individual Sprint and Olympic, relay teams, aquabike, aquathlon, duathlon, and a virtual "Tri It Your Way" option. Results count toward national and regional rankings; USAT rules apply. Non-USAT members must purchase a one-day event license, with published costs varying by category.
