Kinetic Triathlon Festival
The Kinetic Triathlon Festival takes place Saturday and Sunday, May 9-10, 2026, at Lake Anna State Park in Spotsylvania, Virginia (6800 Lawyers Rd, Spotsylvania, VA 22551). The event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon. The festival stages a Long Course (half) and Olympic distance on Saturday and a Sprint distance on Sunday. The venue uses a sandy beach swim start and a freshwater swim with reported water temperatures in the mid 60s.
