Collegiate athletes and the public are invited to participate in the University of California Davis Triathlon Team's 3rd Annual UC Davis Sprint Triathlon. 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, be sure to stick around to enjoy refreshments and win raffle prizes.
March 9th Update: We've added a relay division.
If you have questions, contact us at race @ ucdtri.com.
The swim will take place in the Schaal Aquatic Center and will consist of 750 yards (30 lengths of the 25 yard course). Any athlete that has not completed the swim in 17 minutes will be allowed to move directly to the bike with no penalty. Swim waves will be set off 20 minutes apart so athletes will have a couple of minutes to get in the water after the previous wave has finished swimming and moved to the bike.
The bike and run course are now finalized. Click here for course maps, traffic control, and safety information. You can also find an interactive map of the bike course, created with the GMaps Pedometer, here.
Race-day registration and packet pickup will be held at the Schaal Aquatic Center (transition area) race morning from from 7am - 8:30 am. Please pay specific attention to the parking area info, as the parking area has changed from last year due to construction.
The race will close at 240 athletes.
Registration is now open. You can download the registration form below. If you don't have an annual USAT membership, you will also need to purchase a 1-day USAT license ($9) and fill out the USAT waiver listed below. Checks must be made out to Aggie Multisport.
Note that participants with annual USAT memberships are required to show proof of membership at race checkin in order to race.
