Brickyard Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon 2026

The Brickyard Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon is a short-course multisport race held at 801 Front Ave in Columbus, Georgia, beginning early in the morning. The sprint triathlon involves a 500-meter swim, a 12-mile bike ride, and a 5K run. The duathlon replaces the swim with a 1-mile run, followed by the same 12-mile bike leg and a 3.2-mile final run. The swim takes place downstream in a river typically 4 to 6 feet deep, with shallower areas near the banks. The bike course is fast and flat, and the run course is also flat, making the race suitable for beginners seeking a manageable first multisport event, as well as faster athletes aiming for a quick sprint performance. The participants include individual age-group racers, relay teams, Clydesdale and Athena triathlon divisions, and duathlon relay teams. It is part of the TriColumbusGA series, in a region that also hosts Olympic-distance triathlons, duathlons, adventure races, and off-road duathlons.
