Presque Isle Sprint Triathlon

The Presque Isle Sprint Triathlon takes place entirely within Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. The swim, transition area, and finish are all located at Beach 10. This is a sprint-distance triathlon offering individual and relay categories, open to participants from teenagers to older adults. It begins in the morning, following race-day check-in at the beach. The race commences with a swim in Lake Erie. Participants then cycle around the entire Presque Isle peninsula before concluding with a run on a section of the park’s paved trail. The park is a National Natural Landmark and a Pennsylvania state park, meaning the course remains within this protected lakeside area instead of crossing city streets. This event has been a fixture on the Erie race schedule for over twenty years, and it is coordinated by the Presque Isle Partnership and ALFA Endurance.
