Organizers of the St. Anthony’s Triathlon announced today that a sprint-distance event, made up of a 400-meter swim, a 20K bike and a 5K run, has been added to the race-day lineup.
The St. Petersburg, Fla. event is known for attracting a stellar group of professionals and one of the biggest age-group fields in the country. The 2014 sprint and Olympic races will take place on Sunday, April 27, 2014.
“If you’re a first-timer, the sprint distance is a great choice,” said Philip Lahaye, race director, St. Anthony’s Triathlon in a press release. “You can be part of an internationally recognized event and get a true sense of what a triathlon is all about. It’s a great opportunity to give beginners the chance to race with some of the sport’s biggest names.”
