How fast is it?
Slower than most US sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:34:38, against 1:24:09 in a typical US sprint triathlon, so times here run 12 percent slower.
- Olympic Triathlon: About average for US olympic triathlons. The fastest quarter of the 2021 olympic triathlon field finished under 2:41:50, against 2:43:48 in a typical US olympic triathlon, so times here are about average.
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.
