How fast is it?

Faster than most US sprint triathlons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:19:13, against 1:24:10 in a typical US sprint triathlon, so times here run 6 percent faster.

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.
