The Texas Woman’s University soccer team will host the ninth-annual Pioneer Power Sprint Triathlon & 5K on Sunday, June 26, 2014, on the picturesque TWU Denton campus.

For the third year in a row, the sprint triathlon will include a team competition. The team competition will consist of three divisions – male, female, and coed. This is not a relay, as each team member will do all three components of the sprint tri – the swim, bike, and run. The overall race times of the three team members will be added together to determine a final team time. The team with the lowest total time in their division will win team trophies. Racers that participate on a team are still eligible for overall and age-group awards. 

The separate 5K race is back again this year. The 5K is open to both runners and walkers and will start at 7:30 a.m. outside the triathlon transition area and take place on the same run course being utilized for the sprint triathlon. 

The 2015 Pioneer Power Sprint Triathlon & 5K will be produced by Dallas Athletes Racing under the supervision of race director Dan Jones. Multisport enthusiasts in the North Texas area will recognize Dallas Athletes as the company responsible for highly-regarded local events such as the St. Patrick’s Day, Caveman, TexasMan, Disco, and Monster triathlons.

The Pioneer Power Sprint race course has a reputation as one of the best in North Texas. The 200 yard swim takes place in the 25-yard TWU Fitness and Recreation indoor pool. The bike ride is an out-and-back route primarily on scenic Highway 428. The run (for both the sprint tri and 5K) is one-loop path that begins on the TWU Pioneer Golf Course before finishing at the Hubbard Hall oval in the center of the TWU campus.
