Join experienced race veterans and triathlon newcomers alike for the 39th Hyannis Triathlon 1– part of the New England Triathlon Tour.

This is Cape Cod’s longest-running triathlon — and one of the oldest races in the world. Recently named as one of the 20 best triathlons in the nation by Men’s Health magazine, both the Hyannis 1 and Hyannis 2 races start and finish at picturesque Craigville Beach. They’re challenging — but still able to be completed by fitness enthusiasts who have trained for the distances. The atmosphere is energetic; the views are spectacular; and your satisfaction of accomplishment will last for a long time. OLYMPIC DISTANCE will continue this year!
