Bike
The 10 mile bike course is a single loop through Littleton with some hills in the park area that are sure to raise your heart rate a beat or two.
Run
The on and off-road run course is well-marked and marshaled and one of the most interesting run routes of any sprint triathlon with an off-road section that keeps you focused and gives you great material for your post-race stories. The run finishes along the beach with cheering spectators fueling the athletes along the final stretch. Then it’s under the giant New England Timing finish arch and on to the post-race festivities.
Triathlon
The triathlon will have a time trial swim start.. Your race time will start when you cross over the Swim Start mats on the beach.
