The VA Super Tri is a fun, unique spin on the traditional sprint triathlon. We took a sprint triathlon and broke it up into five mini triathlons (125m swim – 2.4mi bike – 1k run) which are completed
back-to-back.
Youth Participants: Youth will have their own race and complete just two loops of the same course.
Relay Participants: Each relay team member will alternate running loops. One participant will complete a loop, then pass off to the next team member, who will complete the next loop. This pattern continues until all five loops are completed.
This is a great way for a new triathlete to get the experience of five triathlons in one with multiple transitions, and the experienced triathlete to challenge themselves with something new! Plus, the entire event is super spectator friendly with athletes never further than 1 mile away.

Gravel, cross or mountain bikes work best and all have been ridden historically!

50 mile
This is an 8 lap race. Each lap has been GPSed to about 5.5 miles. So, the finish will be about 44 miles depending on your gps accuracy. There also is a time cut of, like always. We decided to make a hard cutoff but give a few extra minutes to allow more racers to complete their laps. The time cut off to go out for your last lap will be 3 hours. We will cut the course off at that point.
36 mile This is a new option this year. In the past this has been a B race, but with the 3 hour time limit to start your last lap we have seen that many 50 mile racer end up finishing 6 laps. So we decided to make that an option. This race will still have a 3 hour limit to start your last lap. This means, if you haven't completed your 6 laps but 3 hours you can head out for one more lap if you can do so before the clock hits 3 hours. Otherwise you will be credited with the completed laps.
18 mile
This division will be a 3 lap race (approx. 16.5 miles).
Aid Station:
Located near the completion of each lap, we will have a water station set up. This will be a place where water can be refilled and bottle hand-ups will be allowed (bring a friend or teammate to hand you your stuff). We will not have volunteers there to give hand-ups, so you should bring support if you will need assistance with water refills.

Timing.
The TPT is electronically timed. Your bib plate is your RFID timing chip and should be mounted securely to your bars (top of plate) and the bottom of the plate should be mounted to cables, or in a way that makes the number clearly visible from the front of the bike.
If you bend the plate, try to make it aero, don’t have it secured properly, or alter it in any way, we will NOT get a read. And that will mean all your hard work was for nuthin’ – so please don’t. Come find us if you have any questions on race day. Well also be checking on you.
