Every triathlete was new once.
The athletes who look at home in transition, with race-ready bikes and well-worn gear, started as beginners too. Everyone starts in the same place.
A clearer path forward.
The official event course is flat and fast, with options for new and experienced triathletes alike. Start with the distance that fits you, then learn the day one piece at a time.

A size that fits your first TRI.
Super Sprint and Sprint are great ways to begin. An Olympic can be a good fit when your current confidence and preparation support it. A Half is a serious larger commitment.
A compact first triathlon option.
300m swim · 10k bike · 2.5k runA classic first full triathlon experience.
600m swim · 20k bike · 5k runA longer option for athletes with a solid endurance base.
1500m swim · 40k bike · 10k runA larger endurance commitment for athletes ready to take on more of the day.
1.2 mi swim · 56 mi bike · 13.1 mi runWhy this is possible.
Three questions worth asking. Answers that make a first start feel possible.
Do I need a special bike?
No. A working bike with two wheels, a seat, brakes, and handlebars is enough to start. Road, mountain, and gravel bikes all work. A tune-up before race day is recommended.
How long is the swim?
Super Sprint is 300m. Sprint is 600m. Olympic is 1500m. Half is 1.2 miles. Choose the swim that fits your preparation, then take the next step from there.
Is triathlon for someone like me?
Yes. There is no one age, body type, or elite-athlete identity that looks like a triathlete. If you can swim, bike, and run or walk where appropriate with preparation, you can do this.
You do not have to know everything before you start.
