From the organizers
The Patriots Triathlon is a great end of season race with Olympic and Sprint options all while being just minutes from historic Williamsburg, VA and the Jamestown Settlement. The swim takes place at beautiful Jamestown beach where you can watch Osprey catch their breakfast or see a pod of dolphins swim along the course. The bike course is flat, fast and parallels the Cap-Cap bike trail along Rt. 5. The run course is simply amazing as it winds through historic farmland and forest on a combination of bike paths and jogging trails. Be sure to stay for the weekend to experience all that the greater Williamsburg area has to offer!
