With miles and miles of peaceful beaches, beautiful water, and natural sand dunes, there’s no better time to turn off your cell phone and soak up the incredible ambiance of Old Florida.

The Escape to Hutchinson Island Triathlon begins with an open water swim (.25 or .5 miles) in the warm waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

Two laps for International, one lap for Sprint.

Stuart Beach is located across from the Elliott Museum and the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center. The park offers a variety of amenities including covered picnic areas, beach volleyball courts, showers, restrooms, and more. Grab a snack or lunch after your race at the Chef Shack overlooking the beautiful blue Atlantic waters. This race benefits the Florida Oceanographic Coastal Center.
