Event details
The Smithfield Sprint Triathlon takes place on March 28, 2026 in Smithfield, Virginia at the Luter Family YMCA (259 James Street, Smithfield, VA 23430).

The race uses a pool swim rather than open water. The bike course is described as rural and the run course is described as flat. The event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon.
