Dam Tri

Race Overview

The Dam Tri moves into its 16th season in 2025. Voted the athlete's favorite several years during its existence, this Sprint international distance event provides a longer distance than your typical sprint tri but doesn't expect quite as much from you as the international distance. The entire triathlon incorporates segments of the Lake Murray Dam.
