Event Overview
The WinSprint Triathlon and Biathlon enters its sixth year as a multi-sport event held in Winchester, Kentucky. This event serves as a fundraiser for the Community Bicycle Rodeo, with proceeds used to provide bicycles and helmets for children. The competition is USAT sanctioned and offers three distinct participation options involving swimming, cycling, and running.
Course details
The event features several specific disciplines held on varying surfaces. The swimming portion takes place in an indoor pool, utilizing either a serpentine style or a single-person-per-lane format depending on the selected race category.
The cycling segment varies by event type:
- Road Triathlon: A 16.5 km bike ride on an open road course in eastern Clark County, featuring rolling terrain and a steep climb.
- Stationary Triathlon: A 10 km ride on provided stationary bikes.
- Biathlon: A 10 km ride on provided stationary bikes.
The final segment for all participants is a 2 mile run consisting of two 1-mile laps. This run course includes a mix of road and gravel surfaces with some short, steep inclines.
Equipment and Safety
Participants in the road triathlon must provide their own bicycle and are required to wear a helmet. For stationary bike categories, the equipment is provided by the organizers. Because the road bike course remains open to active vehicle traffic, athletes must follow all rules of the road. Law enforcement officers are positioned at major intersections to assist with traffic management. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
