RALEIGH
The Triangle Sprint Triathlon has been a fixture in the NC triathlon scene for several decades. The Triangle Triathlon offers 3 separate events: the traditional Sprint Triathlon, the Mini Sprint Triathlon for novice triathletes and/or those new to open-water swimming and the Super-Mini for ages 7-10yr.
GREENSBORO
Since 2008, E3 Endurance has hosted multiple youth and junior triathlons to help youth and juniors learn the sport of triathlon in a safe, fun, spectator-friendly, "Olympic-style" format of racing where distances advance as they get older, so that they can improve to the highest levels in our sport.
CHARLOTTE
The Huntersville Sprint Triathlon is a pool swim triathlon with speedy flat and moderately hilly bike and run segments designed for both beginners and veterans alike! HFFA is a fantastic facility with a large 50m pool. There is a separate warmup pool as well as indoor bathrooms for participants and spectators.
