About the race
The Patriots Triathlon takes place September 11-12, 2027 at Jamestown Beach Event Park in Williamsburg, Virginia. The event includes Olympic and Sprint triathlon and aquabike options, with an option to register for both days together for a 20 percent discount on the higher priced race.
Distances:
- Olympic: 1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run
- Sprint: 750 m swim, 20K bike, 5K run
Swim courses are rectangular laps in the brackish James River starting at Jamestown Beach. Water depth along the course is typically 6 to 10 feet and water temperatures are expected in the mid to upper 70s; kayak rentals are available on site. Both bike courses are out-and-back routes that are mostly flat and fast, run alongside Route 5, and use a park back entrance; the Olympic course crosses the Chicahominy river bridge. Run courses use asphalt bike paths and well maintained packed gravel trails; the Olympic run includes shaded wooded sections while the sprint 5K is mostly open with limited shade.
Aid stations vary by distance: the Olympic course has aid stations every mile offering ice water and Gatorade; the sprint course has water and ice at key points. The race is USA Triathlon sanctioned and features multiple scoring categories including age group, military, collegiate, Clydesdale, Athena, aquabike, and relay teams. All participants must collect their own race packet and show photo identification. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
