How fast is it?
Slower than most US sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:42:38, against 1:24:09 in a typical US sprint triathlon, so times here run 22 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 September 12 the day usually runs from 72°F at dawn to 90°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 24% of days. Cold snaps dip to 67°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.
