2008 Falmouth Sprint Triathlon

||
|
After a two-year break, we returned in ’07 to sunny Falmouth,
Cape Cod...and year ’08 will be our 14th from Surf Drive Beach.
Start with a 1/3-mile ocean swim...look up, as the magical island
of Martha's Vineyard is dead-ahead! Following is a swift 'n twisty
9-mile bike, hugging the ocean for the first 4 miles. The blue Atlantic
will backdrop a flat 3.1-mile out-and-back run along the prestigious
Falmouth Road Race course. 90 minutes from Boston.

| WHERE |
From Boston direction: At the Route 3/Route 128 split in Braintree, take Route 3 South, 42 miles towards the Sagamore Bridge. Before the Bridge, bear right onto Exit 1-A (Route 6 West/ Buzzards Bay/ Falmouth). Follow Cape Cod Canal (on left) 4 miles to/over the Bourne Bridge. Over the bridge, take Route 28 South 15 miles to Falmouth center (Route 28 is Main Street in the center).

| VITAL PARKING NOISE NOTICE!! |
In the past, athletes have been permitted to park near the race venue along side streets. For the 2007 race, responding to neighborhood comments about the slamming of car doors and loud voices during the 5:00-7:00am pre-race period, we successfully engineered a plan where vehicles parked in Falmouth town lots located ½ to 1-mile away from the Surf Drive Beach venue. You will need to give yourself an extra 15 to 30 minutes prep time for these away-from-beach procedures. More detailed information will be included in your confirmation of entry packet. NOTE: our chances for obtaining future race permits will hinge DIRECTLY on our athletes’ adherence to our parking and noise abatement procedures. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! |
