2026 Cal Tri Charlottesville
2026 Cal Tri Charlottesville is a sprint triathlon held at Fry’s Springs Beach Club House in Charlottesville, Virginia. The sprint course for the main event includes a 350 meter swim in a 50 meter pool, a 12.7 mile rolling bike course, and a 5K run.
After completing the pool swim, athletes transition to an out-and-back bike course on Old Lynchburg Road. The bike course is open to vehicular traffic; police officers provide right of way control at key intersections. The run is a new out-and-back 5K that is mostly on asphalt and crushed gravel, winds through a local neighborhood, and finishes with a slight downhill at Fry’s Springs Beach Club.
The event offers twelve race options: six adult sprint distance formats and six youth sprint distance formats. Available formats include Triathlon, RunBikeRun, SwimBike, SwimRun, a 400 yard swim plus a 5K run, and youth equivalents. Triathlon denotes a swim plus bike plus run; courses and bike distances can vary by event.
