This beautiful race along the New Hampshire coast is not to be missed for amazing scenery and a great experience. Athletes rave about the stunning oceanfront views and scenic country roads on the bike and run course. Beginner triathletes will enjoy the flat roads while experienced triathletes will set new PRs! The ocean swim takes place in the Atlantic Ocean off of a beautiful sandy beach.

The park has  strict no pets rule.  Please leave your dogs, cats, lions and most importantly, SHARKS at home. We don’t want to have to ask you, or your friends and family to leave and for heavens sake, if you bring a shark, we would have to cancel the swim.
