Kinetic Multisports

Premier Triathlons on the east coast, offering exceptional quality and value

 

 

Just minutes from historic Williamsburg, VA and next door to the original Jamestown Settlement, the Jamestown Triathlon is a great mid-season 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.

Athlete Testimonials

“This was my first triathlon and I was extremely nervous but I can honestly say I don’t think I could have had a better first experience than at the Jamestown Triathlon. The overwhelming support from the crew and other athletes made you feel like you could take on the world.“

“Jamestown Triathlon 2021 was a day to remember. It was fantastic to be in the midst of hundreds of people without having to mask up. From the first splash in the James River to the icy cold towel after finishing the race, this event felt as much like a family reunion as it did an athletic competition. It felt like the people who facilitated this event, put their heart and soul into it.“

“I’ve been racing Kinetic Multisport races for a number of years now. The Kinetic staff and volunteers make every racer feel like they’re important. No matter their experience level or the division they race.“

Thank you for making this event your first triathlon! There are many more people like yourself who will be racing this type of event for the first time.  Please note that we no longer have a Novice category/division. We now start all of our races with a time trial start (One at a time) so you can start the race where you feel most comfortable.  We do however have what we call a nervous swimmer swim cap.  If you are nervous about the swim make sure to ask for the nervous swimmers cap at packet pick up.

USA Triathlon requires each triathlete to either have a current membership or purchase a 1-day license. The 1-day license must be purchased when you register. The cost of a 1-day license is $15, an annul membership is $50 for adults and $10 for kids under 18.
