Geist Waterfront Triathlon
The Geist Waterfront Triathlon is held at Geist Waterfront Park in Fishers, Indiana (10811 Olio Road). The event takes place in late August and is limited to 400 total racers. It is a USA Triathlon (USAT) sanctioned, professionally chip timed event with full split results.
Races and formats include:
- Sprint Triathlon: 410 yard swim, 12.5 mile bike, 3.1 mile run
- Olympic Triathlon: 1500 m swim, 25 mile bike, 6.2 mile run
- Sprint and Olympic Duathlon start with a run (1 mile and 3.1 miles)
- Aquabike categories finishing in Transition 2
- 2-person and 3-person relay teams
The swim takes place from the park beach in Geist Cove and Geist Reservoir; buoys mark turns and lifeguards and safety boats will be on the water. The bike course runs on mostly county roads with gently rolling hills and limited open traffic control; the run is flat on paved trails and quiet neighborhood streets. Aid stations are located in transition and on the run (roughly every 3/4 mile); there are no aid stations on the bike course.
Race services include race day packet pickup and on-site registration, timing chip distribution, race t-shirt, finisher medal, and awards for overall, masters, grand masters, and USAT age groups. Wetsuit rules follow USAT guidance: allowed up to and including 78°F; 78.1–84°F allowed with result notation but ineligible for awards; prohibited above 84°F. Helmets must meet CPSC standards and personal audio devices are not permitted. Procedures for transition layout, bike racking limits, and common USAT rules are enforced.
