Whaling City Triathlon & Duathlon

The Whaling City Tri & Du is a sprint distance triathlon and duathlon (and splash & dash) to be held on Sunday, July 20, 2025 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 in historic Fort Taber Park. The 2025 Whaling City Triathlon will also host the annual Tri Team Challenge which offers all participating teams a chance to win prizes worth thousands of dollars including $500 cash to the 1st place team.
