Event Description

The sprint triathlon will also include a team competition for the sixth year in a row. The team competition will consist of three divisions – male, female, and coed. This is not a relay, as each team member will do all three components of the sprint tri. The overall race times of the three team members will be added together to determine a final team time. The team with the lowest total time in their division will win team trophies. Racers that participate on a team are still eligible for overall and age group awards. 

The 5K is open to both runners and walkers and will start at 7:30 a.m.  Overall and age group awards will also be given out for the 5K. 

Dallas Athletes Racing will produce the 2018 Pioneer Power Sprint Triathlon & 5K.
