If you are wanting to book a hotel for your visit, anything on Martin Luther King Blvd. would be a 10-15 minute drive to the race site & all of them are well kept to my knowledge. They are also scattered among many restaurant & shopping option. The Courtyard by Marriott & the Howard Johnson are not along MLK, but are a 5-10 minute drive to the race site.

About This Sport

From Endurance Grid's Founder

Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it's the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer's event page.

Three sports, one race — swim, bike, run in sequence, with transitions that are a discipline of their own.

Open water, open roads, and competition with yourself. Cross the finish line knowing what it took to get there.

Triathlon

Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think.
