Osprey Triathlon
The Osprey Sprint Triathlon is the largest annual fundraiser for the MCBP, an environmental non-profit organization working to protect Maryland’s coastal estuaries. This event would not be possible without the support of our athletes and our sponsors.
For our 10th anniversary in 2009, we made a significant commitment to responsible race production in the effort to make it a successful green event. We eliminated the 600 goody bags in favor of providing our racers with one eco-friendly item; we relied on the internet to promote our race and did not mail out over 3,000 brochures to racers on our mailing list; we had more recycling bins on site the day of the race; we donated leftover food to a local charity; and we awarded medals made from recycled bike chains to our race winners.

Course Information
The .5-mile swim will be held in the shallow (4 to 8 feet) Chincoteague Bay. Average water temperature is 68°. Wetsuits are permitted. The swim is an in-water start with plenty of room to spread out and properly seed yourself.
The 15.2-mile bike route is a flat circular course; and the 3.1-mile run is flat out on the roads surrounding the rural countryside of southern Worcester County. The finish line will be at the Public Landing Boat Pavillion.
