Dam Tri - Lake Murray Public Park, Lexington, SC
The Dam Tri is a multi-event triathlon held at Lake Murray Public Park in Lexington, South Carolina. The main Sprinternational distance combines a lake swim, a two-loop bike course, and a run on the dam. The swim is a single 1000 meter triangle that starts alongside the dam spillway; water temperature is typically around 73 degrees, so wetsuit use is optional. After the swim athletes cross a short transition to a mostly flat to rolling bike course completed in two loops that cross the dam four times. The run course is held entirely on the dam in an out-and-back format.
Event options listed by distance:
- Sprinternational Triathlon: 1000 meters swim, 21 miles bike, 6 kilometers run
- Sprinternational Relay: team version of the triathlon distances
- Aquabike: 1000 meters swim and 21 miles bike
