Buzzard's Bay Triathlon
September 28, 2008
Demarest Lloyd State Park
8:00AM Start

Sprint Triathlon: 1/3 Mile Swim, 14.7 Mile Bike, 3.1 Mile Run

Buzzards Bay triathlon was a huge success. Triathletes came from near and far to 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."

Race Maps

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 close to 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.

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!
