How fast is it?
About average for Georgia sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:28:45, against 1:28:45 in a typical Georgia sprint 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.
Typical race-day weather
Around April 17 the day usually runs from 52°F at dawn to 77°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 23% of days. Cold snaps dip to 42°F and hot years reach 84°F.
