Get ready for an action-packed weekend of fun, fitness, and friendly competition for all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re dipping your toes into the sport or pushing for a personal best, we’ve got a race for you! This year’s event features our ever-popular Come and Tri, perfect for beginners and new athletes, as well as the Sprint Triathlon for those looking to push their pace. New for 2026, we’re excited to introduce two fresh formats: the Aquabike (swim + bike) and the Aquarun (swim + run) — great options for multi-sport athletes who prefer to skip a leg… literally! Join us for a day of community, challenge, and celebration. Let’s swim, bike, run — or just do two — and make 2026 the best race year yet!
