Massachusetts State Tri joins series

Massachusetts State Triathlon, a mid-summer jewel in the crown of Max Performance events, will serve this year as the Best of the U.S. Qualifier. Previously Massachusetts residents qualified at the Duxbury Beach Triathlon in September. But this year's earlier Championship

(September 10) is two weeks before that race.

An annual sellout, Mass State Tri, July 17, offers both sprint and Olympic distance races. The Olympic race is the Qualifier. Given its proximity to the border, the race will also qualify New Hampshire athletes this year.
