Sports

Naval Station Newport/Sprint Triathlon

Swim 0.54 kms   Bike 25.75 kms   Run 5.63 kms   

The swim will take place in calm waters of Coddington Cove in Narragansett Bay in the shadow of retired aircraft carriers USS Forrestal and USS Saratoga. Transition area will be on cement/pavement with a nice boat ramp for easy entry/exit from the water. The run and bike will be along the scenic Burma Rd. (aka Defense Hwy) and possibly on the Navy base too.

Wetsuits allowed. Non-USAT event. Should be well put together. I am not the actual contact but will get any info for you that you need. The base holds 5k's every month so the run is a known route.
