Sarasota Triathlon at Nathan Benderson Park
The Sarasota Triathlon features draft legal bike racing for the Sprint and Olympic distances. Drafting on the bike course is permitted, which creates pack dynamics and opportunities for group tactics. USAT draft legal rules apply and no aerobars or triathlon bikes are allowed on the bike course. The bike leg uses a new looped course for those distances.
The event also includes an Open distance intended for athletes newer to triathlon. Nathan Benderson Park is a multi purpose recreation center located in a 600 acre park with a 400 acre artificial lake. Daily mean temperatures in the winter months are noted in the low to mid 60s.
