Brett/Robinson Alabama Coastal Triathlon : Gulf Shores, AL
The Brett/Robinson Alabama Coastal Triathlon is a USAT-sanctioned multi-distance triathlon staged at the Gulf Shores West Beach public beach area and The Hangout. The event offers sprint and Olympic distance courses with ocean swims, out-and-back bike routes on W. Beach Blvd, and out-and-back runs east of The Hangout. The race uses a time-trial swim start with athletes entering the water approximately every 3 seconds. Local water safety groups provide rescue support and the swim may be replaced by a duathlon if conditions make the water unsafe.
Wetsuit use follows USAT temperature rules: permitted up to 78.0°F, mandatory at or below 60.6°F, allowed with award ineligibility up to 84.0°F, and prohibited at 84.1°F and above. Transition areas are organized by race number with marked bike rack rows and a bike mount and dismount line. Water and energy drinks are available roughly every mile on the run course.
Race formats include full triathlon, swim-bike, bike-run, aquabike, relays (2- and 3-person), and a virtual option. Awards cover top overall finishers by gender and non-binary, age-group placings, Clydesdale and Athena divisions, paratriathlete division, masters and grand masters, and relay team awards. Participants must hold a USAT one-day license or annual membership. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
