Race History

The 43rd Annual Memphis In May Olympic Triathlon would like to thank Edmond Orgill Park in Millington, TN for many fond memories of the races and the participants who have shared their time with us. The Memphis In May Olympic Triathlon was first introduced at Edmond Orgill Park in 1991, hosting many dedicated triathletes over the years, including professionals like Todd Jacobs, Timothy Deboom, Julie Moss, Mike Pigg, Natasha Badmann, Michelle Jones, and Andy Potts. Notably, Kirsten Sass, a 5-time USA Triathlon Triathlete of the year, has contributed to the enduring history of this event. Shelby Farms, our new home, also hosted the IM Memphis 70.3.
