ABOUT OUR TEAM

New England Endurance Events is located on Cape Cod, and is fully immersed in the sport of triathlon, swimrun, and adventure racing. Our management and much of our staff are athletes, and we hold dearly to a mission to take the best we have seen in races around the region — and the nation — and bring those attributes to our events — which now total four conventional triathlons, one adventure triathlon, one swimrun and one adventure race.

Please know we are truly appreciative of your participation in our events. We welcome your comments and feedback and we look forward to seeing you on the starting line!
