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 time trial 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.

The water temperature is expected to be in the mid to upper 70’s with a preliminary water temperature will be posted on the website the Thursday prior to the event. An official reading will be taken race morning. (Water Temp History)
Bike: The bike course is very fast and mostly flat with minimal turns outside the park. Athletes will turnaround on Rt. 5 prior to crossing the Chickahominy Bridge. This is an out and back course, however athletes exit and enter the park via two different entrances. Click here to view the route and elevation (301.8 ft).

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.
