General Information
Registration fees included or disclosed up front?: Not specified whether registration/convenience fees are added. Course Info: Course Description
SWIM: 1/3 mile
A sandy, waist-deep start at Surf Drive Beach (expect temps well into the 70s). The course is rectangular in shape and well lifeguarded. Wave conditions over the years have ranged from glass-calm to a slight chop; never a big surf in the protected waters of Vineyard Sound.
BIKE: 8.5 miles
After a mile-long flat stretch along the edge of Nantucket Sound to warm up the legs, you turn toward Buzzards Bay and begin a gradual climb of a mile. Then it?s a rolling three miles down to Woods Hole, past the harbor and off to skirt past one of the most scenic of lighthouses: Nobska Light. The remaining three miles are either downhill or flat to the finish.
RUN: 3.1 miles
A very level and fast run on paved road and walking trail along Vineyard Sound. Consider a hat and sunglasses, not much shade! Two staffed water stops. The last 50 yards are on the sand of Surf Drive Beach where the biggest cheering crowd of the New England Triathlon Tour awaits you!
More: It's a rite of summer on Cape Cod: an event that attracts not only local triathletes but also visitors from across the nation and the world. (25 U.S. states represented and 5 countries in 2017!) Join a very festive yet competitive atmosphere at the 2019 Falmouth Sprint Triathlon.
A highlight of the New England Triathlon Tour, this short sprint race (so say the triathlon vets) is unique for its warm salt-water swim, a beautiful bike that climbs to the majestic Nobska Point Light, and a 5k run entirely alongside one of New England's most beautiful beaches. Casual athletes and newcomers are encouraged to join the tri-geeks, it's a wonderful day for everyone!
Map location is based off of a geocode of the addressed entered using Google's Google Maps API. If your address does not geocode properly, you can either update the address (we will attempt to re-geocode after any updates to your entry) or you can use Google's geocoding tool found here: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html to obtain a lat/long for your location and enter that. To use the utility, type in an address that is close to your location and then drag-and-drop the marker to obtain the desired lat/long. If you choose to enter a lat/long, you must check the box on the edit page that says, "override geocode with entered lat/long."
