Boston Triathlon postponed due to heatwave

The Columbia Threadneedle Investments Boston Triathlon, which was scheduled to be taking place this weekend (July 23, 2022), has been rescheduled for August 20-21, 2022. This is due to the extreme weather conditions that are impacting the city this weekend.

Michael O’Neil, President and Race Director at the Boston Triathlon, said “We are disappointed that we needed to reschedule the 2022 Boston Triathlon due to the current historic weather conditions that are impacting our community.

“Over the last 48 hours, we have been in constant communication with the City of Boston and State of Massachusetts to determine the status of the race. Along with Columbia Threadneedle Investments, they have been amazing partners as we have navigated this unprecedented change in the event schedule.

“We take the health of our athletes, volunteers and spectators seriously. Boston does not compromise on safety or athlete experience. Due to the oppressive heat and humidity that could cause serious health concerns while competing this weekend, we worked together with the City of Boston and State of Massachusetts to postpone the race until August. Everyone should stay safe and hydrate as much as possible this weekend.”
