Davis Lake Triathlon will be held on the 4th of July. This triathlon is Kayak, Bike, Run. There are two race categories.
The Minnow Race=Kayak 1/4 mile, Bike 2 miles, and Run 1 Mile

Both events can be completed by either a single individual or a 2-3 person team. When registering as a team, only one member is required to pay the registration. I will contact that person to get information about his/her teammates

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