Old College Tri & 5K : event overview
Old College Tri & 5K takes place on Sunday August 23, 2026 in Denton, Texas at 2400 Long Rd. The program includes a sprint triathlon and a separate 5K run. All registered participants receive a custom Old College Tri race shirt and all finishers receive a finisher's medal. The 5K finishes inside the stadium.

Team competition is offered for male, female, and coed teams of three. This is not a relay. Each team member completes swim, bike, and run; the three individual times are added and the team with the lowest combined time in its division wins a team trophy. Team members remain eligible for individual overall and age group awards.
Additional on-course features include a 40 yard dash sprint contest with first place trophies in each age group. Awards in the triathlon are given three deep per age group and include Athena and Clydesdale divisions (39 and under, 40 and over), overall awards and masters and grand masters categories. The 5K awards follow their own age group breakdown.
Race operations follow USA Triathlon guidance. Photo ID is required at packet pickup and adult competitors must pick up their own packets. The organizer has a no refund and no transfer policy. In the event of inclement weather the start may be delayed by up to one hour, the course may be shortened or altered, or the event may be cancelled for safety at the director's discretion.
