How fast is it?

Slower than most South Carolina sprint triathlons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:25:24, against 1:14:04 in a typical South Carolina sprint triathlon, so times here run 15 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.

Typical race-day weather

Around August 1 the day usually runs from 71°F at dawn to 88°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 40% of days. Cold snaps dip to 68°F and hot years reach 93°F.

Based on 75 days within a week of the date over the last 5 years, from historical weather for the start area. Not a forecast.
