sprint distance

The Sprint Distance Triathlon is a 500-meter swim, 20K bike, and 5K run.

In wave starts every five minutes, athletes will begin based on age group divisions. The 500-meter swim goes out past the three buoys counter-clockwise and back toward the shoreline, exiting near the transition area.

Turning RIGHT from Cantera Way onto San Pedro Road, riders will head north a short distance to the Short Lap turnaround at Biscayne Dr to then head towards the South turnaround at Brickyard Rd. Riders repeat this lap 1 more time North/South for a total of 2 short laps.

Riders then complete 1 LONG LAP from the South turnaround towards the North turnaround at Back Ranch Meadows campground entrance, heading back again towards the South turnaround. After completion of the long lap, riders turn right on Cantera Way to return to the transition area, for a total of 20K.

Following TRANSITION 2, participants will turn LEFT out of the park for a scenic course, along the water’s edge. Runners will head towards the South turnaround at Main Dr and turn RIGHT at Cantera way, before heading to the finish!
