Dewey Beach Sprint Triathlon History
The first Dewey Beach Sprint Triathlon was held on September 14, 1996. It was held in the back of what was then called Gary’s Surf Spray Café on New Orleans Street in Dewey Beach, Delaware. The after party was held on the roof of the building. The following year it was also held on the same street but quickly outgrew the venue and has been held in the Delaware Seashore State Park ever since. It’s a no frills, grass roots community event and a Dewey Beach tradition that brings athletes and their families from near and far to the resort area. Due to the nature of the ocean, we have had to cancel or shorten the swim several times the last 28 years for rough surf and once for fog. We had no race in 2023 due to a scheduling conflict with the State Park.
Race goal: A safe, enjoyable and fun triathlon/duathlon on a fast and scenic course while raising money for the local community.
Charity: Proceeds from this event and from donations of participants go to Pathways to Success and the JROTC of Cape Henlopen High School. In 2022, over $11,000 was donated to Pathways to Success and to graduating seniors of JROTC.
For the love of all that is good and moisture wicking...
