The swim will be one loop in the Sound from the sandy shore of Seaside Park for the triathletes or a 1.5 mile run for the duathletes. The bike consists of 2 loops of 5 miles each, very flat and closed to all traffic for triathletes and duathletes.

The run is one flat loop of 3.1 miles for triathletes and duathletes. The course is very family friendly. Great food and Age Group awards. Relay teams are available and encouraged! Get a team of friends or co-workers and do it for fun, fitness and great achievement!

Part of the proceeds will go to The Caroline House. The Caroline House is a comprehensive nondenominational education center teaching literacy and life skills to economically disadvantaged immigrant women and children. Since opening its doors, The Caroline House has nurtured and educated hundreds of women and children. Our home-like setting provides a comfortable and encouraging place in which to deliver this much needed service. All programs and services are provided free of charge. Grants, foundations and individual donors provide the financial support for our center.

Happy Seaside Sprint Racers

Such an amazing race! My first in person race since December 2019, my first sprint distance tri, and my first race of any distance after nearly a year of battling a really bad case of plantar fasciitis. I absolutely loved it, the course was incredible, and the volunteers were top notch. I can't wait to come back next year! Anthony F.

All of our athletes had an amazing experience both racing and volunteering. We had a handful of adult athletes compete in their first triathlon and they all completed the race and had a great time doing it. Our junior team found the race both challenging and fulfilling. Jared S.

Your kindness to me today touched me deeply. It so happened that, after almost a quarter century in this activity, physical issues have caused me to retire today. Today, all of the trifitness team put a beautiful exclamation point on those years. Thank you.Alan S.

The trifitness staff and volunteers at the Seaside Sprint Triathlon were wonderful. Everyone was positive, upbeat, and extremely helpful. Thanks for co-ordinating a fun event!Barb
