_ The 2021 JAX Olympic & Sprint Triathlon:

JAX OLYMPIC & SPRINT TRIATHLON - JUNE 26, 2021 

YES...it's true...JAX Triathlon is a definite go and we are back in downtown Jacksonville at the Riverfront Plaza Park (formerly the JAX Landing)! 

As many of you know, the City of Jacksonville has purchased the Landing and converted that property to a city park. Last year we made the temporary move to Camp Blanding. This year RACE CENTRAL will return to the Landing Property. Transition and Registration will be on the beautiful green grass. Course changes will return to the original 2018 route from the Landing.

USAT Event
USAT athletes must provide a valid USAT# and present their USAT card & photo ID at registration. A $50 Annual license can be purchased at www.usatmembership.com (For athletes under 17 years of age, price is $10 for an annual membership) Non-USAT licensed athletes must purchase the $15 one-day license. This is available during on-line registration.

The USAT Age rule requires that all participants race by birth year rather than their age on race day. This means your race age will be the same for all sanctioned events for an entire calendar year. The age group of a participant will be determined by age on Dec. 31 of the event year, not by age on race day. For example: If you turn 25 years old in July, you will race and be ranked in the 25-29 age group for the entire season.
