Triathlon

The Alabama Senior Olympics does not host its own Triathalon Race.

To participate in the Alabama Senior Olympics, participants must register with the Alabama Senior Olympics and with the host of the triathlon in which the athlete will participate.

For Alabama Senior Olympics (ASO), we use triathlons that are being held around the state.

After all three races have been completed, times will be compared with other athletes that have registered with the ASO and the top three in each division will be awarded an ASO medal.

T-shirt Pickup

Athlete’s t-shirt will be mailed if not picked up at another sport.

WET SUIT GUIDELINES

Per the guidelines we will have a USA Triathlon Official onsite who will measure the water temperature two hours prior to the start of the race. At that time we will announce to the athletes whether the event will be wet suit legal or not. Wet suits are legal if the temperature is 78 degrees and below.
