Bike, Canoe or Kayak, Run – Brockton, MA Event

Put together a team (or get matched up with other racers) and get in to the upcoming 7th Annual D.W. Field Triathlon in Brockton, Massachusetts! The historic park offers a unique and challenging course. And everyone will love the racer-friendly entrance fees…

Event date: Sunday – September, 25, 2011

According to their web site:

Elite triathletes and eager tri teams alike will gather for the 7th time on September 25th 2011 at beautiful D.W. Field Park just a mile off route 24 at Exit 18b. It’s the perfect closer for your tri season and you can leave the wetsuit at home for this one.

The race features:

  • 14 mile bike,
  • 1.7 mile canoe/kayak,
  • 4 mile run

The leaves will be starting to turn and there may be a refreshing nip in the air – perfect racing weather! (And no cars to worry about on our enclosed loop course!) You’ll cycle up daunting Tower Hill, run beside sparkling lakes and ponds under a canopy of birch pine and oak trees, and paddle on Waldo Lake -the only day of the year that boats are seen on its shimmering surface!
