Tri To Make A Difference - Sprint Triathlon

Lake Tanglewood in Amarillo, Texas, provides an open-water start for this sprint triathlon: competitors swim a quarter mile, then complete a 10-mile bike ride and a 5K run. The race takes place in September at 10:00 AM. It is a short-course triathlon, meaning the distances are manageable yet challenging. The bike course is hilly, and the run is described as very hilly. The challenge focuses on managing ascents after the swim rather than extreme distance. This event celebrates its seventeenth year and supports the Children's Miracle Network, offering local triathletes and those motivated by charity a distinct purpose for participating beyond achieving a fast time.
