  • A sprint triathlon is perfect for your first triathlon or just another notch on your fuel belt.
  • All net proceeds benefit Ohio University programs and Athletes in Action.
  • Course Information:


  • 500 meter serpentine swim in the state-of-the-art Ohio University Aquatic Center
  • Challenging 25k bike which finishes next to Peden Stadium.
  • Out and back 5k course which passes by Peden Stadium, the OU Golf Course and givs participants spectacular views of the Hocking River and the OU campus.
  • Directions:

    From the Northwest Ohio or Columbus
    -If you are driving from the North or West, take I-270 around Columbus, OH, to the Southeast side. 
    -Take US-33 East, Exit 46 B, following US-33 E for approximately 68 miles from I-270 to get to Athens.

    Business US-33 goes through the city of Lancaster, encountering numerous traffic lights, but providing access to motels, gasoline filling stations, and restaurants. The Lancaster bypass is now open, and unless you need those services, we do advise that you use the bypass, staying on US-33 instead of taking the Business Route exit as you approach Lancaster. Continue on US-33 East past Logan and through Nelsonville.

    After Nelsonville, as you approach Athens, pass the first OH-682 exit (for "The Plains"). If there is a stop sign at the end of the OH-682 off-ramp, you have taken the exit for The Plains. You can either turn right, go to the fourth traffic light and turn left onto Richland Avenue, or get back on the highway and follow the directions in the next paragraph.

    After US-33 E joins US-50 W in Athens, take Exit 17, for OH-682 N. There is a traffic circle ("roundabout") at the end of the off-ramp. Traffic entering the circle must yield to traffic already in the circle. Keep to the right and take the first exit, onto Richland Avenue; cross the Hocking River and enter the Ohio University campus. You will be at coordinates E-6 on the campus map, with the Convocation Center on your left and Peden Stadium on your right.

    From Southwest Ohio (Cincinnati or Chillicothe)

    If you are driving from Southwest Ohio, take OH-32 E to Athens. If you are driving from the Chillicothe area, take US-50 E to Athens.

    Just West of Albany, OH, at the Ohio University Airport, OH-32 E and US-50 E join together. Continue East on OH-32 and US-50.

    Pass the exit for US-33 E to Pomeroy, OH (that off-ramp exits to the left).

    Take Exit 17, for OH-682 N. You will have gone about nine miles from the airport. There is a traffic circle ("roundabout") at the end of the off-ramp. Traffic entering the circle must yield to traffic already in the circle. Keep to the right and take the first exit, onto Richland Avenue; cross the Hocking River and enter the Ohio University campus. You will be at coordinates E-6 on the campus map, with the Convocation Center on your left and Peden Stadium on your right.
