Leo's Peanut Butter and Jelly Triathlon
This event was created in honor of the organizer's father and his enjoyment of fitness and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. It is scheduled for Saturday March 7, 2026, with in person activities in Morganton, NC on Sterling St. The event for this year will be mainly virtual; participants can complete the course on the designated day or close to it and post their times.
The triathlon follows a sprint format with three sequential disciplines. Participants are asked to time transitions and include them in their total time. The organizer intends for future editions to continue on the weekend after the father's birthday and to expand the in person component in Morganton.
After the in person race there will be peanut butter and jelly available for nourishment. At home participants are encouraged to prepare their own peanut butter and jelly and share a photo.

The event description notes a personal history behind the race including a previous sprint triathlon held on the father's birthday and a subsequent medical diagnosis that prevented repeating that original swim bike and run together. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
