Are you ready for the BEST the sport of triathlon has to offer!?  Our Smiley race will feature top triathletes in the area (and country) and we also welcome first-timers and all who come to participate. EVERYONE get a Championship reception!  PLEASE join us!

The Smiley Sprint Triathlon continues the tradition of triathlon in the Forsyth County/Winston-Salem Area.  A Team of premiere Ironman triathletes (100 Ironman finishes between them!) from this area have a passion for the sport and promoting healthy fitness lifestyles in our community.  The “Smiley” concept recognizes the life and mission of Richard Smiley.  For those that knew Richard, “Smiley” is in recognition of his spirit and giving heart to our community.  For those who didn’t know him, “Smiley” means we are going to have a happy day of health and fitness for all (Richard would have it no other way!).  This race is a non-profit event.  The organizers roll 100% of the proceeds back into the race, or to local charities with a priority to brain cancer initiatives. 

Are you a first timer and a bit nervous?  No worries – we are the ONLY triathlon with a concierge team ready to help YOU all day long! 

The Smiley Sprint Triathlon is particularly welcoming to first-time triathletes including first-timers’ recognition at the Awards Ceremony, a triathlon/transition clinic at packet pickup, and the opportunity to participate in Triathlon 101 Training program at Fleet Feet Sports (Program includes race registration + USA Triathlon license!).
