Just minutes from historic Williamsburg, VA and next door to the original Jamestown Settlement, the Jamestown Triathlon is a great mid-season Sprint/Olympic race. The swim takes place at beautiful Jamestown beach where you can watch Osprey catch their breakfast or see a pod of dolphins swim along the course. The bike course is flat, fast and parallels the Cap-Cap bike trail along Rt. 5. The run course is simply amazing as it winds through historic farmland and forest on a combination of bike paths and jogging trails. Be sure to stay for the weekend to experience all that the greater Williamsburg area has to offer, including the new Billsburg Brewery, the Jamestown Settlement and so much MORE.
The Olympic and Sprint distance races will be the USA Triathlon Virginia State Triathlon Championships. The Sprint distance race will be the USA Triathlon Virginia High School Triathlon Championships. More Information HERE

Bike: The bike course is very fast and mostly flat. The largest elevation gain/loss is when crossing the Chickahominy river bridge. At mile 10.75 athletes turn left onto a low traffic road to get the remainder of the distance prior to turning around and coming back to the transition area. This is an out and back course, however athletes exit and enter the park via two different entrances.
Run: The run is pancake flat and the beginning is on an asphalt bike path that parallels the bike course. This course includes many of the shaded, packed gravel trails that are used for the Patriots Half in September. Running in the woods is cool, running in the woods on well maintained paths is even better. There will be aid stations every mile on the course serving ice water and Gatorade.
