Event Description
(provided by race organizer)Join experienced race veterans and triathlon newcomers alike for the 44th year of the Hyannis Triathlons. These are the longest-running triathlons on the East Coast!
Both the Sprint and the Olympic races start and finish at picturesque, sandy Craigville Beach. They’re challenging — but still able to be completed by fitness enthusiasts who have trained for the distances. The atmosphere is special; the views are spectacular; and your satisfaction of accomplishment will last for a long time!
Aquabike is a rapidly growing subset of triathlon — ideal for those who wish to swim and cycle but not run. Often, our aquabike competitors are suffering from knee and foot injuries which hamper their running ability. USA Triathlon recognizes this sport, and upon completion of two aquabike races in a year you will be ranked against other athletes nationwide.
You’ll swim the same swim and bike course as those who are racing the Olympic Triathlon. When you cross the bike dismount point your time is taken and your race will be completed. You will receive results which show your times for each leg, as well as how well you did against the other aquabike competitors.

Hyannis Triathlon 2 2026 - Sprint Aquabike Race Review
This review was submitted for Hyannis Triathlon 2 2026 - Sprint Aquabike
Year of participation: 2026 I participated in Aquabike
The race was very well organized and operated. The race director is an excellent communicator, experienced and provided all needed information. She held a pre-race zoom meeting with questions and answers, and the athletes guide was very thorough. Ocean swim was set up well and easy to navigate and very visible for spectators. The run from the water to the transition area was a bit long and the asphalt lot could have been swept better to eliminate the small stones that hurt the feet. Signage in/out were well done and visible. The bike course was well staffed with ample volunteers at all intersections and police controlling the traffic. One short section was reduced to a single file lane that slowed me down behind a slower rider but was necessary for safety. Some rough spots on the road with potholes and rough patched potholes.
The finish buffet was excellent with many healthy choices and delicious sandwiches. Volunteers were efficient and friendly. The MC kept everyone informed of all the pertinent information about the race and the sequence of events to take place and played excellent music.
The awards ceremony was cramped and congested and difficult to observe but the trunk organizer and award certificate was much appreciated for the top 3 in male and female finishers. I would recommend this race and do it again. Arriving at the parking lot at 5:30 am when packet pick up started was very dark entering the parking lot and I recommend better lighting in the future. Overall, I give it a high rating and well organized for about 800 athletes.
