How fast is it?

Slower than most South Carolina sprint triathlons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:25:09, 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.

Around May 29 the day usually runs from 62°F at dawn to 80°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 29% of days. Cold snaps dip to 56°F and hot years reach 86°F.

From the organizers

750 meter SWIM (open water)

20K BIKE

5K RUN

A second year sprint distance triathlon on the beautiful Hartness property in Greenville, SC.

This open water swim triathlon is a true sprint distance with a 750 meter Swim, 20K bike and 5K run. There are no other chances to swim open water during a triathlon in Greenville County, and this event became an instant classic on the SC Triathlon Series circuit. Hartness is a private community featuring stunning homes, a world class hotel and spa, an unforgettable restaurant and quiet, peaceful scenes all within a VERY short drive from downtown Greenville and the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport.
