TriWaco Triathlon
TriWaco is an annual triathlon held in Indian Spring Park in downtown Waco, Texas. The event uses open-water swim sections in the Brazos River, bike loops on a spectator friendly course, and run segments that include trails in Cameron Park.
Multiple race formats are offered, including:
- Try a Tri: 400m open-water swim, 8 mile bike, 2 mile run
- Sprint Tri: 750m open-water swim, 16 mile bike, 3.5 mile run
- Olympic Tri: 1500m open-water swim, 40K bike, 10K run
- Aquabike: swim and bike stages only
Relay options are available for sprint and Olympic distances. Minimum age requirements are specified for each distance: sprint events require a minimum age of 14 and Olympic events require a minimum age of 15. The Olympic course lists a maximum race time limit of 4.5 hours.
Wetsuit use follows 2025 USA Triathlon competitive rules: water 78.1°F to 83.9°F allows participatory use but is ineligible for awards, while 84°F or above forbids wetsuits. Official water temperature is measured on race morning and posted at packet pickup; organizers advise planning for the possibility that wetsuits will not be allowed.
A flag-based heat and safety system communicates risk levels and course status, with guidance ranging from normal racing through race stoppage. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
