It's a new year and a new season for triathlons. This is the first in a series of 8 events over the summer, finishing with a championship race at the beginning of October. There's Sprint or Super Sprint distances to choose from for the adults, and races for children. The swim portion is inside the Francis Meadows Aquatics Center in Gainesville, so we're guaranteed to have great water temps.  Technical shirts for all participants.  Awards to the overall male & Female, Masters male & female, and the top 3 in all the usual adult 5 year age groups 14-19 through 75+.

Event details and schedule

Courses:

The swim will be done in the Aquatics Center Pool; The bike leg will be done on the roads around the aquatics center for the adults, and mostly on property for the kids. The run will be done on the park grounds using all paved surfaces. 

Estimated Swim Time:

Athletes will be placed for the swim start based on their estimated swim time. This will allow the faster swimmers to go first, and keep them from catching the slower swimmers. Please do your best to have an accurate time. You'll need to have your best guess at how long it will take you to complete your entire swim.
