How fast is it?

Faster than most North Carolina sprint triathlons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:07:37, against 1:26:47 in a typical North Carolina sprint triathlon, so times here run 22 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.
