Ways To Be Involved

The Stamford KIC IT Triathlon welcomes individual athletes and relay teams. You can gather a group of friends, family, neighbors and/or co-workers to each tackle a leg of the race. It’s a great way to get involved, get in shape, and make new memories!

Registration is limited so don’t delay; fundraising athletes (limited to the first 300) receive special incentives, including free memberships to local gyms, upgraded athletic wear, VIP parking and raffle entries to win exciting travel opportunities and prizes. See The Cause for more information.

The Course

The SWIM begins and ends at Cummings Beach Park and is a .9 mile triangular course in Long Island Sound, sheltered by Shippan Point to the east and Cove Beach to the north.

The 24.8 mile BIKE is diverse, has gradual climbs, fast downhills and demands your attention. It begins with a loop along the water through breathtaking Shippan Point, then whizzes through the corporate canyon of downtown Stamford amidst towering office buildings and finally heads into the beautiful wooded terrain of North Stamford. An exciting transition awaits back in downtown Stamford at Columbus Park, in the heart of the restaurant district.

The 10K (6.2 mile) RUN is a 2-loop course through downtown Stamford. The entire course was designed for great viewing. Spectators can grab a front row seat in Columbus Park to see the early stages of the bike, the excitement of transition #2 and the spectacular finish line. Post-race festivities at Columbus Park include food, drink, awards, music and expo.

The excitement of the race and the day’s activities make it a great experience for parents and kids.

Please note that the race course is subject to change so please check back for updates.
