LAGO MAR TRIATHLON - WHAT TO EXPECT
This one-of-a-kind race brings athletes to the largest Crystal Lagoon around, found at the Lago Mar neighborhood in Texas City, TX. A true oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the perfect place to race and get those competitive juices flowing after a crazy year.
The 12-acre Crystal Clear Lagoon is unlike anything ever created in this part of the world! It’s truly exceptional and is absolutely the best body of water you will ever race in around these parts!
SPRINT TRIATHLON COURSE: 500m swim, 12 mile Bike, 5k Run
Begin with a 500 meter swim, transition to the bike and make two loops around the beautiful Lago Mar community. Slip into your running shoes, and then hit the ground running for a 5k course around the neighborhood of Lago Mar. After you complete the flat, fast oval shape loop, your finish line will be right back at the edge of the Lagoon, so you can immediately cool off and start your floating post race party!
DUATHLON COURSE: 1.2 mile run, 12 mile Bike, 5k Run
The duathlon mimics the triathlon course; the exception being that the swim is replaced with a short, 1.2 mile out-and-back run on the sidewalk bordering the neighborhood lake.
AID STATIONS and POST RACE FOOD & DRINKS:
Hydration stations will be set up along the course at frequent locations.
Running with a hand held bottle or belt is appreciated to keep the area tidy.
POST RACE:
After the race, find your friends and/or family; and enjoy the Lagoon and LagoonFest Texas the rest of the day. Your Race Entry doubles as a LagoonFest Texas pass. Lago Mar Lagoon is unlike anywhere else, and you will not want to rush off after the finish line!
