Nantucket Triathlon: July 17 - 19 2015

Nantucket Triathlon2015 athletes will have an opportunity to race in the Sprint Distance race on Saturday, July 18 or the Olympic Distance (Hero Triathlon) race on Sunday, July 19 or compete in both!
What’s more, we are proud to continue to give back to important causes. Since our inaugural event, the Nantucket Triathlon has donated over $125,000.00 to the Town of Nantucket Scholarship Fund which provide scholarship opportunities for Nantucket students. The Olympic Distance race has also made an impact in improving the lives of our veterans by giving back to two veteran charities.
