The Pumpkinman Triathlon
The Pumpkinman Triathlon was created and developed by the
Seacoast Riptide Triathlon Team (SRTT) which is a unique group of talented age group athletes who joined together in 2006 to race,
train, and promote their love of the sport of triathlon. With experience developing and directing races
such at the Sea to Summit Race, Aggieman, Eliot Duathlon, and Eliot Festival Days 5K, the SRTT is equipped
to deliver USAT sanctioned, chip timed, well run, fun,
and safe events. With the support of the South Berwick Town
Manager and the South Berwick Police Department, the Pumpkinman Triathlon Festival is sure to be an exciting weekend for
multiple seacoast communities.
