People call our races positive, friendly, and fun because with your registration you get a FREE performance tee, in-race pictures, and a post-race party with great food, finisher medals, swag, music, and much more! Our races are USA Triathlon Sanctioned, which means you will need to purchase a USAT membership or one day pass to participate. Our running races are hosted in conjunction with triathlon events, and share the same courses as the triathletes.
