About this race
Tri the Parks - Lake Lanier Rowing Park Sprint is a morning sprint-distance event at Lake Lanier Rowing Park in Gainesville, Georgia. Options include triathlon, duathlon, aquabike, and relay. The field is capped at 450 athletes, age 9 and older. The race uses assigned bike racks, body marking, and swim caps to sort athletes by start position.
The triathlon begins with a 600-meter swim from the rowing tower to the boat ramp, with athletes entering the water one at a time every 5 seconds. The 14.7-mile bike leg is on open roads in northern Hall County, featuring a 4-mile loop with rolling hills. The 5k run concludes on the plaza above the rowing grandstands. Aquabike participants complete the same swim and bike segments as triathletes. Duathletes begin with a run on the designated course.
