About

The Keep Texas Wild Triathlon at beautiful Lake Corpus Christi State Park offers two race distance options. The Sprint, Sprint Relay and Mini-Sprint Triathlon. The course can be challenging for new and experienced triathletes. The swim is in deep open water with wave starts (many athletes swimming side by side). The bike is an “open course” which means that although law enforcement will be present, the roads will be open to regular vehicular traffic. There are some small hills on the bike course. The run course is hilly. Please do not attempt this race unless you are well trained and prepared. All finishers will receive a custom finisher medal.

A portion of race proceeds will benefit Colin's Hope to prevent children from drowning.
