Robious Landing Triathlon
The Robious Landing Triathlon takes place at Robious Landing Park, 3800 James River Rd, Midlothian, VA, with the main race date shown as September 20, 2026. The event includes adult and youth competitions and is sanctioned by USA Triathlon, so USAT competitive rules apply and participants must hold a USAT membership.
Races are offered in three formats for youth and adults: triathlon (swim-bike-run), duathlon (run-bike-run), and aquabike (swim-bike). Age categories include a sprint-distance field for ages 13 and older and a youth race for ages 15 and under. The youth race is part of the USAT VA-MD Youth Series.
Distances for the primary courses include:
- Sprint course: 650 m downriver swim, 12 mi primarily flat bike, 5 km run
- Kid course: 50 m swim, 2.8 mi out-and-back bike on closed roads, 0.75 mi run
- NCAA women course: 650 m downriver swim, 11.2 mi (4 laps) draft-legal bike, 5 km run
- Duathlon replacements: sprint replaces first swim with 1 mi run; youth replaces first swim with 0.25 mi run
The NCAA Collegiate Cup race is draft-legal for women; the lap-out rule will not be enforced. Wetsuits are prohibited if water temperature is 68 degrees F or warmer. Every finisher receives a medal and awards are presented to top overall finishers and age group categories; fastest male and female runners in adult and youth races receive a $75 PR Run & Walk gift card. Registration information notes a September 17 deadline to be guaranteed a race shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
