Race Course Description |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Set in the beautifully redeveloped waterfront area of Lowell, this sprint distance race is one of the area's best kept secrets. The quarter mile swim in the placid Merrimac River is like swimming in some of the nicer lakes on the Massachusetts triathlon circuit. The bike course has been described by a number of athletes as being their absolute favorite bike course in the FIRM race series. It's a single loop, fairly flat eleven mile course on beautiful roads that make you feel you are in a rural setting. Quadmultisport will provide support on the bicycle course. The run is a flat, straight out and back for 3 miles. Grab a bottle of refreshing water at the finish line and join your family and friends to listen to some live music at the waterfront celebration. The Greater Lowell YMCA Triathlon, an olympic distance event, held on the same course, starts an hour before the sprint distance event. |
