How fast is it?
About average for US sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:23:05, against 1:24:26 in a typical US 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.
