Event Overview
The Wellfleet Sprint Triathlon is an endurance event held in Outer Cape Cod, near a small fishing and tourism village. The race serves as the primary fundraiser for WOMR, a non-profit community radio station serving the local area. The competition is a 2026 USA Triathlon State Championships Ranking Point Event, allowing residents of Massachusetts to earn points toward season rankings.
The event features three distinct disciplines:
- 1/4 Mile Swim
- 10 Mile Bike
- 5k Run
Course and Location
The competition takes place at Long Pond in Wellfleet. The swim portion is held in the calm waters of a kettle pond. The bike segment follows undulating roads located within the Cape Cod National Seashore. The final run offers participants views of the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the location, there is no parking at the race venue on the day of the event; participants and spectators must park at the First Congregational Church and travel to the start/finish line by bicycle or on foot.
