2009 Pirate Tri Sprint Triathlon:
Join hundreds of your fellow landlubbers as you journey from the shores of Sebago Lake to the hills of Casco and back, in pursuit of the treasure at the finish line.
Swim among pirate ships, bike past graveyards, and run among the villagers who will be cheering on your success.
With real pirates scattered throughout the course, and a feast awaiting you at the finish, the Pirate Tri promises to be a swashbuckling good time!
The Pirate Tri offers the first open-water swim of any race in Maine (and its not THAT cold!) and is a great race for first-time athletes.
This is a perfect early season event to test your fitness or to get into the sport. Either way, it will be a lot of fun!
Registration for the Pirate Tri at Point Sebago is now open. Space is limited, and we anticipate the race filling up. Click on the Registration tab above for more information.
This is a great FAMILY event! Point Sebago Resort is hosting a whole weekend of activities geared at families, all themed around pirates.
