Wellfleet Sprint Triathlon
The Wellfleet Sprint Triathlon is a fundraising triathlon held at Long Pond in Wellfleet. The event benefits WOMR, the Outer Cape community radio station, and has supported that organization as its major fundraiser.
The course includes:
- 1/4 mile swim in a calm kettle pond
- 10 mile bike through roads inside the Cape Cod National Seashore
- 5K run with expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean
Packet pickup is offered the day before the race and on race morning; participants must present photo ID and proof of USA Triathlon membership or a one-day license. There is no day-of parking at the venue; participants and spectators park at Wellfleet’s First Congregational Church and then walk or bicycle to the start area. Bikes will not be released from transition until all participants have returned from the bike course.
The race is a USA Triathlon sanctioned event and results count toward national and regional rankings under USAT rules. Awards are presented to the top three in each age group (male, female and non-binary), to First-Timers, and to Male, Female and Mixed Relay Teams. Relay teams may be two or three persons. A virtual participation option allows recorded triathlon activities to be submitted and earns race swag. The event has sold out months in advance in past years and there will not be a wait list.
