Just one week after the Holliston Lions Triathlon, the Old Colony YMCA Triathlon challenges racers with an International distance course:
SWIM: 1 mile
BIKE: 24 miles
RUN: 6 miles
The race is organized by FIRM Racing, who also create the FirmMan Triathlon, [Witch City Triathlon], Rockbuster Duathlon, Sheriff's Sprint Triathlon and others.
SWIM
distance: 1 mile
The swim takes place in Tispaquin Pond at the Yomechas YMCA Camp. It is a triangular course with swimmers traveling in a counter-clockwise direction (buoys on your left). Water temperatures are usually in the mid-70s. This is a wetsuit legal race.
BIKE
distance: 24 miles
The bike consists of four loops around a 6 mile course with approximately 100 feet of elevation gain on each lap.
