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 Patriots Triathlon is a great end of season race. With Long Course, Olympic and Sprint options available there is a distance for everyone. 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 with the Long Course quickly getting into the rural parts of Charles City County. 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.

Bike Course: The bike course is fast and mostly flat. There are a couple rollers and sections of false flat, but you can ride the entire route in your big ring. There are 3 water bottle hand offs on the course at miles 15, 30, and 44 (Deer Park sport caps). Please plan your fluid intake accordingly as there will be 12 miles to ride from the last hand off to the bike finish. Yes, the bike is 57 miles (New course in 2018), not 56. It’s a long story, ask us in person about it sometime and show us your 71.3 tattoo.

Run Course: The run course is FANTASTIC and one of the most popular in the region. It is a joy to run with a combination of asphalt bike paths, wooden bridges and VERY well maintained pea gravel and mulched jogging trails. There is not a hill anywhere on this course. (New course in 2019) It is a 2 loop course with well stocked aid stations at least every mile throughout. Each aid station will have water, Gatorade, ice, flat Coke, Chex mix, oranges, bananas, sweet candy and a porta jon. The 2019 run course will take you back by the beach and transition area to start your 2nd loop and get energized by your family, friends and spectators!

Do the Double: Would you like to race both days of the Patriot’s Triathlon Festival weekend?  If so when you register for the 1st race you will be prompted to register for the second race saving you 20% off the highest price race!
