2015 Quantico Sprint Triathlon:
• Splash, cycle, and beat feet in the Quantico Tri on Saturday, August 22, 2015! Hosted aboard Marine Corps Base Quantico, each leg of the USAT sanctioned, sprint distance event will offer a unique view of the Crossroads of the Marine Corps.
• Look for growth and expansion of the two year-old event in 2015 that may include a start near Officer’s Candidate School, a 750 meter open water swim and a 12.4 mile cycle tour of the Marine Corps Base, founded in 1917.
• The 2014 event brought marked improvements such as tattoos used in place of body marking, a timing mat which recorded each athlete’s personal start time at the pool and a change in the cycle course.
• Expect changes at the 2015 Quantico Tri, most notably, the possible switch from pool swim to a 750 meter open water swim. The Quantico Tri traditionally includes a 5K run, the distance every Marine must complete annually as part of the Marine Corps physical fitness test.
Course Information:
Race Flow
1. Swim - When triathletes finish the swim portion of the race, they will enter the transition area and proceed to their designated bicycle rack. Each triathlete’s swim time will end when they cross the timing mat located near the swim exit.
2. Bike - Bikes may NOT be ridden in the transition area. It is important to use extreme caution when departing the transition area, it may be very congested! All athletes must put on their helmet and snap the strap before mounting their bike. The helmet must remain on and buckled until the triathlete dismounts and racks their bike. Not following the helmet rules may result in a disqualification (DQ). Bike times will start when triathletes depart the transition area through the 'Bike Out' chute and end when they re-enter the transition area through the 'Bike In' chute. Once the bike portion is completed, triathletes will return their bike to their designated spot in the transition area.
3. Run - Triathletes depart the transition area by exiting through the 'Run Out' chute. Triathletes run time will begin when they depart the transition area at 'Run Out' and end when they cross the finish line.
