TORC (TRI-OKC Riversport Challenge)
TORC is a multi-sport event held in downtown Oklahoma City at the OKC Riversport Complex. The event date is September 12, 2026. Venues include the Riversport Whitewater Facility and the MAPS River Trail along the Oklahoma River.
Swim segments take place in the outdoor lower pool at Riversport. The pool uses a filtration system installed in 2023 and is supplied with Oklahoma City municipal water rather than river water. A water temperature of 86°F was recorded on 7/22/2024; wetsuit use may be restricted under USAT rules and the official decision will be made on race morning.
The bike course consists of three laps through downtown Oklahoma City and passes Scissortail Park, the Myriad Botanical Gardens, and Bricktown. Run courses follow the Oklahoma River Trail as a clearly marked out-and-back route that finishes at the Riversport facility. The venue is described as spectator friendly.
Practical details: parking is available at the Riversport Complex and at secondary locations. Saturday events are sanctioned by USA Triathlon and follow USAT rules; athletes without a valid USAT number must purchase a one-day membership. Sunday events are not USAT sanctioned. Packet pick up is scheduled for the day before the race at Riversport. Registration fees vary by event and increase on specified dates; registrations after August 6 are not guaranteed a t-shirt.
