Photo Gallery: 16th Annual Nantucket Triathlon

There were 749 participants who woke up early Saturday morning and took part in the 16th annual Nantucket Triathlon, which has become one of the largest and most anticipated events of the year on the island.

Nantucket native Beau Garufi, 35, won his sixth consecutive title with a time 57:58 - which was 10 seconds faster than last year’s time of 58:08.

Garufi, who began competing in 2013, now has Nantucket Triathlon titles in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. The triathlon was not held in 2020 or 2021.

The course for the triathlon begins at Jetties Beach with a quarter mile swim. The participants then embark on a 13.4-mile bike ride from Bathing Beach Road all the way out to Millie’s in Madaket after taking several other roads. After turning around and re-racking their bikes, the participants then run along a 3.4-mile course.

The first female finisher was Olivia Wons, 31, of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, who finished 27th overall with a time of 1:12.04. The best time for a Nantucket female runner was Rachel Powers Daily, 39, who placed 48th overall with a time of 1:13.52.
