Memphis In May Triathlon Weekend

The Memphis In May Triathlon Weekend takes place at Shelby Farms Park in Memphis, Tennessee, with the race headquarters at Hyde Lake. The weekend includes an Olympic triathlon featuring a 1.5K swim, 40K bike, and 10K run, and a Sprint triathlon with a 750-meter swim, 13-mile bike, and 3-mile run. It is held in May and is open to athletes 12 years and older. Individual entries, relay teams, AquaBike options, and Athena and Clydesdale divisions are available for both main distances. The Olympic race begins with a swim in Hyde Lake. Cyclists then travel around Shelby Farms Park and adjacent roads, concluding with a run on the park’s paved trails. Packet pickup and race activities are also located at Hyde Lake, making it the starting point and the initial segment of the course. Participants who finish will receive a custom shirt, medal, and a post-race meal. BBSC Endurance Sports is the organizer. The Olympic triathlon has a long history, with over forty editions, and was previously held at Edmond Orgill Park in Millington.
