Delaware Seashore State Park

The first Dewey Beach Sprint Triathlon was held on September 14, 1996. It was held in the back of what was then called Gary’s Surf Spray Café on New Orleans Street in Dewey Beach, Delaware. The after party was held on the roof of the building. The following year it was also held on the same street but quickly outgrew the venue and has been held in the Delaware Seashore State Park ever since. It’s a no frills, grass roots community event and a Dewey Beach tradition that brings athletes and their families from near and far to the resort area. We have simply strived for a safe, enjoyable and fun triathlon with a fast and scenic course while keeping the money within our community. As always, the feature event will be the triathlon including a 1/2 mile ocean swim, 15 mile bike and 3.5 mile run. There is also an option to compete as a triathlon relay team in which each person completes one leg of the race. In addition, athletes will have the option to race a duathlon as a 1/2 mile beach run, 15 mile bike and 3.5 mile run. A special thanks to Cape Henlopen JROTC for prep and teardown support. Event proceeds benefit Pathways to Success. If you have friends or family members who would like to volunteer in any capacity, please let us know. This is a fabulous opportunity to capture a diverse market with the common interest of health, challenges and exercise.  Email…
