Bowling Green Sprint Triathlon & Kids Triathlon
The Bowling Green Sprint Triathlon takes place at Preston Miller Park in Bowling Green, KY. The event includes a pool swim at the Russel Sims Aquatic Center, a road bike course that travels from the park onto Veterans Boulevard through neighborhood roadways, and a 5 km out-and-back run on park paths and trails with paved and rock chip surfaces. The swim is conducted as a serpentine format using 50-meter lanes and a time trial self-seeding procedure.
Participants receive a race shirt at registration and finishers receive a medal. The event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon and requires each participant to have a USAT annual membership or a one-day membership purchased through registration.
