Slower than most US sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:27:43, against 1:24:09 in a typical US sprint triathlon, so times here run 4 percent slower.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
