From Endurance Grid
This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think.
A swim followed by a bike — a triathlon without the run. Sprint to long-course, often alongside a tri at the same venue.
Run, bike, run. The multi-sport format without the swim — a great bridge between running and triathlon.
From 5K to marathon, running races are the most accessible entry point into endurance sport. There's a distance for every fitness level and a community at every start line.
Open water races from 1 mile to marathon distance. Just you, the water, and whatever you've got left.
A continuous race alternating open-water swimming and running across a series of segments.
