New England Womxn's Trail Multisport Festival
The New England Womxn's Trail Multisport Festival is a chance to come together and enjoy a day and celebrate the end of the multisport season in beautiful Pawtuckaway State Park. The event is presented by SHEcoast Multisport, and it is open to any person who identifies as a woman including cis, trans, non-binary, or any significantly female-identifying persons. Thank you to our Festival Sponsors, Core Physicians and Ariel Wahl of Preventative Maintenance . This year's Festival will be held on Saturday, 9/26/26, with an inclement weather date of Sunday, 9/27/26. Participate in the individual triathlon, or choose a two sport (swim/bike, bike/run or swim/run) or single sport (swim only, bike only or run only) option. Stay afterward to enjoy a celebration with snacks, music and great company. Please note that this is not a race and there will not be chip timing or race numbers, nor will there be awards based on placement/finish times. This festival is an opportunity to enjoy a fun multisport event in a beautiful park area surrounded by supportive friends - new and old. If you would like to record your time, please bring your own watches/computers. Transition area will be in the parking lot near the beach at or near your car. While we will have volunteers in the area, each participant is responsible for their own items and the event management is not responsible for the loss of any items. Please plan for a way to secure your valuables, including your bike, while you are out on the course. Questions? Interested in volunteering? Email [email protected] for more info!
