Pat Jones YMCA Tri at the Y

The Pat Jones YMCA Tri at the Y is a sprint-distance triathlon held at the Pat Jones YMCA on East Republic Road in Springfield, Missouri. The race features a short multisport format: a 300-meter swim, an 8-mile bike ride, and a 5K run. Both individual entries and sprint relay teams are welcome. It is open to adults 18 and older, catering to everyone from first-time triathletes to experienced racers. The setup is practical and YMCA-centered. Online registration is open until the start if spots remain. Packet pickup requires a photo ID and proof of USA Triathlon membership. Every participant receives a shirt and medal, with awards for the top female and male finishers. The race proceeds rain or shine, though lightning will cause a shelter break. USA Triathlon insurance rules prohibit dogs, strollers, and standard headphones on course.
