From the Organizer
This popular Sprint Triathlon is celebrating our 7th year in 2027. Enjoy a safe and scenic race while enjoying the beauty of historic Defuniak Springs located in the Florida panhandle. Our racers enjoy a 600 meter wet suit friendly swim in one of the world's two circular lakes, a 16 mile bike ride through the rolling hills of the Eucheeanna Valley and finish with a 5k flat run passing by the historic homes of Defuniak Springs.
Enjoy pulled pork sandwiches after the race and Celebration Party at the Last Stop Beer Vault complete with a free beer!
Race Benefits local non-profits. We donated almost $6,000 to local non-profits last year.

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.
