Event
The OSU Indoor Triathlon takes place on Sunday, January 25, 2026 at the Recreational and Physical Activity Center (RPAC) at The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH (337 Annie and John Glenn Ave). The event serves as a USAT Collegiate Nationals qualifier. The triathlon is based on time rather than distance and uses indoor venues for each segment. The sequence and segment times are:
- 10-minute swim in the indoor competition pool
- 15-minute transition to the stationary bike
- 20-minute stationary bike ride
- 5-minute transition to the track
- 15-minute run on the indoor track
Food is provided after the event. Racers who register before the deadline are eligible for a t-shirt, and prizes will be awarded to winners.

There are two event categories: Open and Collegiate/High School. Fees are listed as $55 for the Open event and $45 for the Collegiate/HS event. Prices increase after December 25, 2025.

Preliminary wave assignments, based on the swim and run times provided by entrants, will be posted on January 18, 2026; open racers are scheduled to race first, followed by collegiate and high school.
