The sprint swim is a single rectangular loop close to shore; the Olympic swim is two loops with a 30-minute time limit for the first half mile. Bike routes follow paved country roads through Centerville, Osterville and Wianno with rolling hills and police-protected intersections. Run courses include marked miles and staffed aid stations; the sprint run finishes with a downhill stretch, while the Olympic run includes a U-turn to complete two loops.
The event is USA Triathlon sanctioned; competitors must hold an annual or one-day USAT membership. Registration is available online or in person, packet pick-up is offered the day before and the morning of the race, and e-bikes are not permitted. Awards are given by age group and division, and relay teams may consist of two or three members. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
