NMSU will be hosting a sprint triathlon event this fall after a hiatus of more than ten years. This triathlon will be in run, bike, swim order and will start at the Aquatic Center parking lot (reverse triathlon). Register now!

The sprint triathlon distances for this race will be a 5 kilometer run (3.1 miles), a 20 kilometer bike (12.4 miles), and a 400 meter (0.25 mile) swim. The run will be two laps around the fields behind the activity center and Sutherland Village, the bike will be four laps going around NMSU campus from the Aggie Memorial Stadium to the DACC. The swim will be a traditional snake swim in NMSU’s outdoor pool. The transition area is located in the NMSU Satellite Water Facility Parking lot, west of the Aquatic Center.
