Massachusetts Triple Crown

Can you complete all three of these marathon swims in Massachusetts waters?
Add your name to our growing list of accomplished athletes!

 
 

Around Nahant (@NHT)

One of the most beautiful swims in our solo lineup, this 8.4-mile swim around Nahant and Egg Rock provides plenty of cold water, stunning views, and a sting in the tail as swimmers must cross a growing ebb tide to finish.

Boston Light Double (BLSx2)

The marquee solo swim in our lineup, the BLSx2 is a sturdy, 16-mile cold-water challenge that’s ideal for any swimmer looking to go longer and a great stepping stone for the English Channel. (Book early or late for 6-hour qualifier.)

Nantasket to Nahant (N2N)

Choose from a one-way, 8.3-mile trek from Nantasket Beach to Nahant via Graves Lighthouse or a double-difficult 16.6-mile round trip back to Nantasket for the full tour of the outer Boston Harbor. And, perhaps, a chance to see whales and seals.


Massachusetts Triple Crown Finishers

Congratulations to ANDREW LEONE for being the first person to complete the
MOWSA Triple Crown!
(And he opted for the longer and more difficult N2Nx2 course!)
