Demarest Lloyd State Park
9:00AM Start
Sprint Triathlon: 1/3 Mile Swim, 14.7 Mile Bike, 3.1 Mile Run
Buzzards Bay triathlon makes every triathlete appreciate the beauty of an amazing Park
and course layouts. The bike course is a major highlight with views of the bay, farmhouses,
and stonewalls, with fall foliage at its peak. Demarest Lloyd State Park is true hidden gem
that serves as a fantastic season wrap-up!
"I enjoyed all three Max races I did this year and was impressed at the levels of
commitment, passion and meticulous preparation that everyone put into each one. However,
Buzzards Bay surpassed my expectations by far as a spectacular venue and course and the
dedication of all RDs, volunteers, police and park officials was by far the best I've seen.
Careful attention to every detail including the two complete sound set ups and DJs showed that
Max Performance lived up to its promise for this year. The communication with police and park
officials and volunteers and vendors and their responsiveness to us as triathletes was key in
making this race safe and fun and I think the Buzzards Bay Tri is going to be your signature
race for years to come. It was great to have a late season race and I'm very much looking
forward to next year's races."

Swim Course
The point to point swim takes place in the secluded cove at Demarest Lloyd State Park
covering 1/3 of a mile. The temperature at the end of September will be 68-70’,
so wetsuits will be optional. You’ll finish this point-to-point swim by running through
one of our huge Max Arches into the transition area! You’ll then leave the Park via
cheers from the fan-lined Park road.
Note - any practice swims at Demarest Lloyd State Park will have to be done at high tide to simulate the course.
Bike Course
The bike course is by far the signature leg of Buzzards Bay Triathlon. Previous
competitors have described "Martha Stewart like Farmhouses and amazing stonewalls.
I loved the scenery!" The course is looped with one gradual climb at Mile 3. After
that, you’ve got smooth roads and beautiful views to take you through a total of 14.7 miles.
Run Course
The last portion of the Tri is a 5k out and back run that travels on park and rural town
roads, a good portion of which, is under a tree-lined arched Park road. Spectators line
the roads to cheer you back to the finish under yet another Max Arch!
