Collegiate athletes and the public are invited to participate in the University of California Davis Triathlon Team's 2nd Annual UC Davis Sprint Triathlon. For collegiate members of the Northern California Triathlon Conference (NCTC), this race will be the conference championship. For open waves, there will be 5 age group categories. The course is staged at the beautiful new 65 meter pool at the Ted & Rand Schaal Aquatic Center on campus. The swim will be held in waves, after which athletes will enjoy a straight, fast cycling course through scenic agricultural lands and quiet streets. After returning to the pool area for the second transition, runners will tour the UC Davis campus and the UC Davis Arboretum. Following the race, enjoy refreshments and win raffle prizes. Age group awards will be presented 3 deep. Day-of race registration and packet pick-up will be at the Schaal Aquatic center from 7-8:30 AM on Sunday morning.
Please note that the race will close at 240 athletes. Also, don't forget to set your clocks - daylight savings time changes the morning of the race!

Run: The run course will tour the UC Davis campus and part of the arboretum The run course will include one water station.
