Flora-Bama Mullet Man Triathlon (28th edition)
The event is a sprint-distance triathlon held in Pensacola, FL, with swim, bike, and run segments centered on the Flora-Bama Ole River Grill and surrounding roads. The event benefits the Leukemia Lymphoma Society as the M. Lane Gilchrist Memorial.
Distances:
- 1/4 mile swim
- 16.5 mile bike
- 3.9 mile run
The swim takes place in the Ole River behind the Ole River Grill; wetsuits are optional. Bike transitions occur in the Flora-Bama North Parking Lot in front of the Ole River Grill. The 16.5 mile bike course heads west into Alabama, passes under the Perdido Pass Bridge, returns east into Florida on Perdido Key Drive, includes River Road and the Theo Baars Bridge, and finishes back at the Ole River Grill. Bike helmets are required and participants must walk bikes through the transition area. The run departs from the Ole River Grill, proceeds west into Alabama, turns around under the Perdido Pass Bridge, and finishes in front of the Flora-Bama on the south side of Perdido Key Drive.
Packet pick up is at the Flora-Bama tent on Friday, April 17 (4 PM–6 PM) with a late pickup on Saturday, April 18 (5:00 AM–6:30 AM). Relay teams use a single timing chip as a baton that must stay on the left ankle until transfer. Multiple divisions include age-group individual races, First Time Triathlete, Fat Tire, Athena, Clydesdale, Super Clydesdale, and relay options. There are no refunds or transfers; 7.5% sales tax is added to registrations. A post-race celebration and awards take place under the Flora-Bama tent with a breakfast buffet and free draft beer for participants.
