Swim — 650 Yards | Newport Harbor

The race begins with an open water swim in the protected waters at the mouth of Newport Harbor. Sheltered from ocean swells, this is one of the more forgiving swim venues you'll find in New England. Wetsuits are legal and strongly encouraged — water temperatures in mid-June are refreshing and a wetsuit will keep you moving fast and comfortable heading into T1.

Bike — 11.6 Miles | Ocean Drive | 369 ft Elevation Gain

From transition athletes head out onto the iconic Ocean Drive — one of the most scenic cycling routes on the East Coast. The double loop course rolls through classic New England coastal terrain with sweeping Atlantic views at every turn. With 369 feet of elevation gain spread across rolling hills, the course rewards strong riders while remaining accessible for all levels. Don't let the scenery distract you — there's work to be done.

Run — 3 Miles | Fort Adams State Park | 52 ft Elevation Gain

The run is short, fast, and unlike anything else on the triathlon circuit. With just 52 feet of elevation gain the course is nearly flat and sets up perfectly for a strong finish. Athletes race along the perimeter of historic Fort Adams State Park and head inside the fort itself — running through the storied grounds of one of the largest coastal fortifications in the United States. This is where you leave everything on the course.
