In 2006, Kat Donatello had a vision of bringing a Triathlon to the Seacoast of Maine and New Hampshire. With the help of veteran triathletes from her training group, they put on the First Annual Pumpkinman Triathlon in 2007.  Since that time, the Festival has grown to include a Half Ironman (Maine’s first and only); and now hosts the largest two day event in the state. 

The events host a beautiful swim in the scenic Knight's Pond, a challenging bike course along the Eastern Trail and a rolling run course through quiet neighborhoods of South Berwick culminating with the finish at beautiful Spring Hill. The Pumpkinman Triathlon Festival Sprint and Half Ironman will be a wonderful season ending race with traditional New England food, an expansive expo, and a wonderful awards ceremony.
