Pemaquid Beach Triathlon

The Pemaquid Beach Triathlon, held in New Harbor, Maine, is a scenic sprint triathlon featuring a 400-yard ocean swim, a 17.4-mile bike ride around the Pemaquid peninsula, and a 3.1-mile run along Pemaquid Trail. The swim takes place in chilly ocean waters, with a recommended wetsuit, while the bike course offers gentle rolling hills and coastal views of Muscongus Bay and Monhegan Island. The run is mostly flat with a moderate hill near the start.

Participants can compete individually or in relay teams. The event supports Bristol Parks and Recreation, aiming to fund a new playground at Pemaquid Beach Park. Registration includes a race tee and a handmade finisher’s prize. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
