Join the beach party at the Sylvan Beach Tri & Du this Summer. This race showcases the best of La Porte, and it shows in the support from the local community. Triathletes get to choose from two distances, and will start their race right on the beach! Meanwhile duathletes will get their multisport on with a run, bike, run around the Beach neighborhood streets of La Porte, TX.


WHAT TO EXPECT

Sprint Distance:

500 Meter Swim, 20K Bike, 5K Run

Olympic Distance:

1500 Meter Swim, 40K Bike, 10K Run

Triathletes have a chance to get some sand between their toes, and start their race with a swim start from the beach. Everyone will swim in a triangle, with Olympic distance swimmers swimming the larger loop.

After the swim, athletes will transition onto the bike course and cruise along the streets of La Porte.

The run portion of the race keeps you safely along the neighborhood streets lined with palm trees and colorful beach houses, before running back to the finish line.

Just beyond the finish line, have your friends and family ready for you to jump straight back into the bay to cool off, and enjoy a big beach party to celebrate everyone’s success after your race!

WHAT TO EXPECT

Duathlon:

1.7 Mile Run, 20k Mile Bike, 5k Run

Duathletes have a chance to get a flat and fast run-bike-run through La Porte, TX.

Both run portions of the race keep you safely along the neighborhood streets lined with palm trees and colorful beach houses, before running back to the beach-adjacent finish line.

Between the two run sections, you will transition into and out of the bike course which cruises along the streets of La Porte.

Just beyond the finish line, have your friends and family ready for you to jump straight back into the bay to cool off, and enjoy a big beach party to celebrate everyone’s success after your race!
