The RVA Sprint Triathlon is Richmond's only pool sprint triathlon. Hosted by the Rockville Center, this race is set in beautiful Rockville, VA. Participants will enjoy a short pool swim, rolling rural bike, and fun out-and-back run course. This event includes a classic sprint triathlon, kid's splash and dash (swim-run), and new this year we will also have a shorter beginner-only race for first-time triathletes only. Prefer to not swim or run? No problem as we have both duathlon (run-bike-run) and aquabike (swim-bike) options. The RVA Sprint Tri will feature a "seeded" race start with the top 12 seeded women starting approximately 7 minutes ahead of the top 12 seeded men to set up an exciting finish to see who crosses the finish line first! Will it be the men or the women this year?
Adult, Beginner, and Youth Races
We will offer the sprint distance triathlon for ages 13 to adult, a shorter beginner-only triathlon, and a youth Splash and Dash (swim-run) race for ages 15 and under. The youth race is part of the new USAT VA-MD Youth Series. Learn more here >
Race The Tri, Du, or Aquabike
The RVA Sprint will feature 3 race options – triathlon (swim-bike-run), duathlon (run-bike-run), and an aquabike (swim-bike) – for both the sprint triathlon and beginner-only triathlon.
