Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon

Sprint Distance Triathlon

Please keep in mind that there are TWO Sprint distance start times: ● Sprint A: 7:05am ● Sprint B: 9:15am

Swim Course

The Sprint Distance race starts with an 800 meter, one-loop swim in the calm waters of Lake Lloyd, within the iconic Daytona International Speedway track. Athletes will enter the water via a grass ramp, swim a single counter-clockwise loop, and exit via ramp to the Transition Area. The water temperature in Lake Lloyd is typically between 68 and 72 degrees (20-22 degrees Celsius).

Swim cut off is 45min after the last swimmer enters the water.

Bike Course

Once on the bike, athletes will complete 4 and ½ laps of the Daytona International Speedway before exiting the back straight to follow the access road to the historic old tunnel to re-enter the infield to transition. The back straight will have signs in sequential order: LAP 1, LAP 2, LAP 3, LAP 4, EXIT TO FINISH. In addition, there will be an electronic jumbotron displaying athletes bib number, last name and the lap they are on: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Upon seeing Lap #5, athletes must prepare for a right turn to exit the back straightaway.

Run Course

The 5K run takes you on one excitement-filled lap of the track—running where NASCAR history is made. You’ll finish in the FanZone, like countless sporting legends who have come before you. Maybe you won’t hit the speeds that NASCAR drivers clock, but it’s sure to be a fast run, fueled by the enthusiasm and energy of family, friends and spectators. It’s also sure to be an experience you’ll never forget!

Sprint Duathlon Run 1

The Sprint distance duathlon will begin with a 1 mile run. It will be an out and back run and will start at either 7:15am or 9:25am depending on whether you signed up for Sprint A or Sprint B. The 1st run portion is on the map below. The remainder of the event will follow the bike and run portions of the sprint distance triathlon as described above.
