_ The 2020 Boiler Sprint Triathlon: CANCELLED

The Purdue Triathlon Club's Boiler Sprint Triathlon is a great race for everyone. With a swim in Purdue’s Competition Pool, and bike and run courses that travel around Purdue’s campus, the shorter distance triathlon is perfect for triathletes of all levels! The course's sprint distance is perfect for beginners wishing to tackle their first triathlon, or the seasoned athlete wishing to participate on a fast course. Also, being the first outdoor triathlon in the region, it allows participants to test their months of indoor training.

Spray paint will also be used for the bike course, while neon duct tape will be used for the run course.
