Sprint-Distance

A sprint-distance triathlon is the perfect distance for new and experienced triathletes. For those new to the sport, the event distances and pool swim combine to make our races a perfect introduction to the sport. For experienced triathletes, the sprint distance offers a great opportunity to push your red-line limits.

USAT Certified

USAT certification is your insurance that the course is safe, designed with the athlete in mind, and officiated to ensure fair play. USAT is the governing body of the sport of triathlon. We are proud to offer USAT certified races.

YCMA Sponsored

The principles that guide the YMCA organization are the same on which we base our races. We are committed to presenting a race series that is fair, fun, and safe for everyone participating.

Upstate South Carolina

This series was designed with the Upstate South Carolina triathlete in mind. All our races are conveniently located for upstate South Carolinians (and lower midstate North Carolinians too) and spaced so you can train and race all seven events.
