Event Overview
The Presque Isle Sprint Triathlon takes place on August 1, 2026, exclusively within Presque Isle State Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. All three segments—the swim, bike, and run—start, transition, and finish at Beach 10. The course offers a tour of the park, which is a Pennsylvania state park and a National Natural Landmark.
Participants can choose between two event formats:
- INDIVIDUAL Sprint Triathlon
- RELAY Sprint Triathlon
The sprint distance consists of a swim in Lake Erie, a bike ride around the full peninsula, and a run along a portion of the park's paved trail.
Logistics
Packet pickup is scheduled for the day before the race at the Tom Ridge Environmental Center on Peninsula Drive. A photo ID is required, and each athlete must pick up their own packet. On race day, all athletes must check in at Beach 10; no day-of registrations are accepted.
Timing services are provided. Awards are given for the top three places in individual categories and the top two places in relay team categories. All entrants receive a custom long-sleeve t-shirt, a swim cap, and post-race food and beverages. Registrations are non-refundable and non-transferable.
