New perk! Get after it with local recommendations just for you. Discover nearby events, routes out your door, and hidden gems when you sign up for the Local Running Drop.

We’re less than 48 hours away from one of the sport’s most iconic events and 5,500 triathletes are busy getting ready to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, run 26.2 miles, and hopefully earn a shiny new PR. The expo is one of the busiest areas of town, as athletes take advantage of the family-friendly atmosphere to get pre-race business done.

All of the big European vendors are on hand, as well as names from the U.S. that will make any American triathlete feel right at home. The beer garden is open all day, where sponsor Erdinger Alcoholfrei is served.

Jealous? Us too! Good luck to those getting ready to compete.
