Barrio Dogs Pedal for Paws + 16th Anniversary Celebration

Join us for our 4th Annual Pomona Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon! This event will take place on Sunday, June 14th at the lake in the front of the Pomona Subdivision, Manvel, Texas. Pomona is 8 minutes from our old location straight down Kingsley (Cnty Rd 48) or 288 to the Pomona exit. Since July has repeatedly been so hot, moving it to June should help with the help a little.

The Pomona Tri/Du offers a 500 meter lake swim followed by a 12.5 mile bike ride and a 3 mile run; duathlon athletes will do a half mile run vs the swim. The bike is now a one loop course followed by a run through the Pomona neighborhood ending at the Grove located at 4214 Croix Pkwy., right off Pomona Pkwy. Parking for this event to be announced.

Join us for Race #3 of the Bayou City Triathlon Series for 2026. This iconic race is in its 18th year, and features a competitive group of triathletes, yet is a favorite for first-timers as well.

We will have a pre-race clinic the weekend before, and race weekend has something for everyone. Saturday is the Doggie Du and Youth Triathlon, and Sunday is the Sprint Triathlon, Super Sprint Triathlon, Duathlon and Aquabike (swim-bike).

Date: Sunday, August 9, 2025
