How fast is it?

About average for US olympic triathlons

The fastest quarter of the 2026 olympic triathlon field finished under 2:45:03, against 2:43:48 in a typical US olympic triathlon, so times here are about average.

  • Sprint Triathlon: Slower than most Georgia sprint triathlons. The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:33:15, against 1:28:45 in a typical Georgia sprint triathlon, so times here run 5 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.

Typical race-day weather

Around April 18 the day usually runs from 54°F at dawn to 79°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 12% of days. Cold snaps dip to 47°F and hot years reach 83°F.
