OVERVIEW
SWIM COURSE
DOWNLOAD HERE1/4 MILE - The swim takes place in the Hopkinton reservoir – clean, spacious, scenic and calm. Water temps are a comfortable 72-74. You’ll see the large orange buoys that clearly mark each turn and the flag-lined chutes that guide you back to the transition area!
(We recommend that beginner triathletes be comfortable swimming the full distance in training in less than 25 minutes time.)
BIKE COURSE
DOWNLOAD HERE10 MILES - The bike course begins on park roads, with downhill turns and rolling terrain through backroads of Hopkinton, Southborough, and Ashland. Plenty of volunteers & police will direct you along the route.
RUN COURSE
DOWNLOAD HERE3.1 MILES - The final portion finishes with a 5-k run, 100% inside the scenic Park. Crowd cheers echoing off the reservoir will help you as you make your way to the 300-yd. flagged chute to the huge arched finish line.
COURSE TIME LIMITS
At the Title 9 Triathlon, we celebrate every athlete who has the courage to make it to the starting line, and we want every participant to have the opportunity to reach the finish line.
To ensure athlete safety and to be respectful of our volunteers, public safety teams, and event staff, the following course-support time limits will be in place:
- Swim Finish: All athletes must complete the swim by 28 minutes from their start time
- Bike Finish / Return to Transition: All athletes must complete the bike course by 1 hour, 45 minutes from their swim start time
- Race Finish: All athletes must complete the race by 2 hours 35 minutes from their start time
Athletes who do not reach one of these benchmarks may be asked to discontinue the race based on their location, pace, course conditions, and the availability of continued course support.
Our race team will always approach these situations with compassion and respect. Athletes who are making steady forward progress and can safely complete the race within the event's operational window will be given every reasonable opportunity to reach the finish line.
These time limits allow us to balance our commitment to an inclusive race experience with the safety and well-being of the volunteers, police, medical personnel, and event staff who make race day possible.
Every finish matters—and so does the team of people who helps make it possible.
