Our Mission
Running, Cycling, Swimming - Building Community Together
Island athletes running, cycling and swimming together. Our goal is to build a strong Island athletic community. We encourage friendship and fellowship through sports! Summer residents encouraged to join us!
The Nantucket Athletic Association (also known as Nantucket Triathlon Club Inc.) is a non profit 501(c)(3). The Club was created in 2012 to manage races, training events- swims, cycling and running - for Island athletes. In 2024 we changed our name to Nantucket Athletic Association to reflect our broader interest in Island sports and community events.
As a non-profit we are an all-volunteer effort and have no paid officers. We contribute a substantial sum of our annual proceeds to support Island charities and youth sports!
