Mirroring the strong national demand for urban triathlons, the Boston Triathlon doubled in size from 2011 to 2012, with over 900 participants in the 2012 event. Standing alone as the only swim-bike-run race in Boston, the Boston Triathlon will kick off on August 4, 2013, with the Boston skyline providing the perfect backdrop and the scenic South Boston shoreline offering racers a premier metro-triathlon experience. This sprint triathlon offers easy access and parking, closed roads, and a festive post-race atmosphere. Registration is now open and is expected to sell out quickly.

Recognized by Men’s Health, Triathlete Magazine, Inside Triathlon, Competitor Magazine, and Fodor’s Travel as one of the top races in the USA, the Lobsterman Triathlon is a true destination race. Drawing athletes and spectators from 25 states, spectacular Olympic-distance Triathlon & Lobster Bake will take place on September 14, 2013 and is expected once again to draw a sellout crowd. In its 11th year, the Lobsterman Triathlon offers a unique full day endurance festival that appeals to all types of athletes and their families.
