Wellfleet Sprint Triathlon
The Wellfleet Sprint Triathlon is a fundraising sprint-distance triathlon held at Long Pond in Wellfleet. The event raises funds for WOMR, the Outer Cape Cod community radio station.
Distances:
- 1/4 mile swim
- 10 mile bike
- 5 km run
The swim takes place in a calm kettle pond. The bike route follows undulating roads inside the Cape Cod National Seashore. The run course provides expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean. The organizer notes the race typically sells out months in advance and there will not be a wait list.
