From the Organizer
Round out the summer with one last coastal challenge.
The Second Beach Sprint Triathlon is a late-season race set entirely within some of Aquidneck Island’s most scenic and protected landscapes. Designed to be welcoming for first-time triathletes while still offering a rewarding course for experienced racers, this sprint is the perfect way to close out your summer of training.
The Course:
Swim
The race begins with an open-ocean swim off iconic Second Beach. Athletes will experience true coastal conditions in a clearly marked course with excellent sightlines and shoreline support.
Bike
The bike leg rolls through the scenic farmland of Middletown, featuring quiet roads, open views, and gentle elevation changes that reward steady effort without being overly technical.
Run
The run is the signature piece of the race, taking athletes out toward Sachuest Point and looping around the reservoir near Third Beach and Hanging Rock Road. This section winds entirely through protected nature preserve areas, offering a rare and beautiful racing environment surrounded by open land, water, and coastal views.
