There’s still time to sign up for the 2025 Cohasset Triathlon, taking place on Sunday, June 22. Limited spots remain for this annual tradition, which brings more than 1,000 athletes to town — including nearly 18% from right here in Cohasset. Now in its 17th year, the triathlon has become one of New England’s most popular sprint races, thanks to its community spirit, coastal course, and first-class race experience. Race Director and Founder Bill Burnett notes that 20% of this year’s participants are first-time triathletes, reflecting the welcoming, supportive environment that makes the event ideal for beginners and veterans alike.
The race course remains unchanged since the inaugural event in 2007: a 1/4-mile swim at Sandy Beach, a 12-mile scenic bike ride, and a 3.1-mile run along Cohasset’s picturesque shoreline. Burnett emphasizes that the event is about more than just racing — it’s about bringing people together, from athletes chasing personal bests to families cheering from the sidelines. The triathlon also gives back to the community through support for local causes including the Sandy Beach Association, Team Jett, and Team Look.

Sign-ups are also open for the Cohasset Kids Triathlon on Saturday, August 2, at the Cohasset Swim Center. Open to all children, this fun and inclusive event promises a great experience for every participant.
