Half-Olympic Distance

The sprint distance is the fastest growing triathlon race distance in the United States. However, there are large variations of swim and bike distances. After a quick search of the web, we have determined that there are no (or at least very few) events that are specifically identified as Half-Olympic Distance. Therefore, this is the original. Don't miss this opportunity to be part of history in the making.

We are sanctioned by USA Triathlon. This triathlon will comply with all USAT Rules [PDF].
