We’re ready for you

Dubbed “a great race in a most beautiful place,” the Wellfleet Sprint Triathlon has an atmosphere unlike almost any other triathlon: friendly, chill, “we’re-all-in-this-together.” Start off with a quarter-mile swim in one of Wellfleet’s many calm ponds. Next, bike two 5-mile loops through the Cape Cod National Seashore. The 5k run follows an out-and-back course with a turn-around right at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. A warning: this race fills to capacity months in advance!

This is the race for every kind of endurance athlete. Triathletes can choose from a shorter “Sprint” category or a longer “Olympic” distance. Aquabikers (swim-bike) can do the same. There’s a category for duathletes (run-bike-run) as well as for aquathletes (swim-run). Many athletes join forces to create 2-person or 3-person Relay Teams. Starting and finishing at sandy Craigville Beach on Cape Cod, you’ll visit three quaint seaside villages along the way!

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, (30 U.S. states, 7 nations represented last year!)  This “short” race is unique for a warm salt-water swim, a scenic bike ride that climbs to the majestic Nobska Point Light, and a flat 5k run into the village and back. Don’t expect to sign up as race day nears — as Falmouth always fills to capacity in advance each year.

Over 40 years of high-quality triathlon racing has been seen at this perfect venue for a triathlon. Triathletes can choose from the shorter “Sprint” category or the longer “Olympic” distance. Aquabikers (swim-bike) can do the same. There’s a category for duathletes (run-bike-run) as well as for aquathletes (swim-run). Or form a Relay Team with your friends! White sandy beach, smooth roads and lots of great karma. A “Top 20” triathlon race according to Men’s Health magazine.

Until 10 minutes before the start, you won’t know the route of this year’s GutCheck Triathlon. So simply train in advance to be able to compete aerobically for 1.5-3 hours! This is a half triathlon/half adventure race held within a picturesque 2000-acre state park. Two race categories: one for swimmers; the other for paddlers (your board, or rent one of ours). Bike on paved roads. Run on narrow trails. Race solo, or join with others to make up a team (racing the entire course together)!

The sport of SwimRun has caught the eye of endurance athletes around the world. Why? Well, if you love the personal journey of achievement, the chance to swim and run through one of the most gorgeous areas of New England, to experience the true spirit of endurance racing … then perhaps you should choose SwimRun Cape Cod to be the highlight of your 2026 season. Three point-to-point race distances from which to choose; race solo or form a team of two.
