Whaling City Triathlon & Duathlon

New England’s most beginner-friendly multisport event! A sprint triathlon and duathlon (and splash & dash) offering bike & run courses closed to traffic, spectacular water views and a fabulous finish in historic Fort Taber Park.

The Whaling City Tri & Du is a sprint distance triathlon and duathlon (and splash & dash)  to be held this July at historic Fort Taber Park in New Bedford, MA, a vibrant and culturally rich city that is America’s #1 fishing port.  With multiple opportunities to see athletes on the swim, as they ride the bike course, and complete an out and back run course, this is one of the most spectator-friendly multisport races in New England!

​The triathlon is a terrific race for beginner and seasoned triathletes alike. The 0.25 mile swim takes place in Buzzards Bay, the 11.4-mile bike course is flat, fast and scenic and closed to traffic and the 3.1 mile run is all on sidewalks and walking paths offering gorgeous water views and a fantastic finish.
