From the organizers
The Pigman Sprint Triathlon is a favorite for top pros, serious amateurs, recreational racers, and first-time triathletes. This .5K swim, 25K bike and 5K run sells out very quickly because it's the perfect way to start your summer triathlon racing season. The Pigman Olympic Distance (1.5k swim, 40k bike, and 10k run) ups the challenge.
Relay Teams
Relay teams are welcome at the Pigman. Top Male, Female or Coed teams will win awards.
