Kinetic Triathlon Festival
The Kinetic Triathlon Festival is held at Lake Anna State Park and includes three race options over a weekend: Long Course, Olympic and Sprint triathlons, with Aquabike options for each distance. The event uses a sandy beach swim start and rectangular swim courses with sighting buoys placed about every 75 meters. A water temperature reading is posted the Thursday before the event.
Distances:
- Long Course (Half): Triathlon 1.2 Mile swim, 57 Mile bike, 13.1 Mile run
- Olympic: Triathlon 1.5K swim, 40K bike, 10K run
- Sprint: Triathlon 750 m swim, 15.5 Mile bike, 5K run
Course features include rolling country roads and well paved bike surfaces, multiple loops on bike and run courses for spectator viewing, and wooded, mostly asphalt run routes inside the state park. The Long Course bike route lists about 2000 feet of climbing; the Long Course run lists about 800 feet of elevation gain. Aid stations are provided on the courses and technical and sag support are available.
The park offers banked stadium style seating overlooking the swim and run areas, miles of trails, a playground, a swimming beach and a visitors center. The event is USA Triathlon sanctioned. Registration is non refundable and race deferrals are available. A 20 percent discount is offered for registering for both weekend races.
