2026 SwimRVA Down River Rip

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.

The RVA Sprint Triathlon is Richmond’s only pool sprint triathlon. Hosted by the Rockville Center, this race is set in beautiful Rockville, VA. Participants will enjoy a short pool swim, rolling rural bike, and fun out-and-back run course. This event includes a classic sprint triathlon, kid’s splash & dash (swim-run), and new this year we will also have a shorter beginner-only race for first-time triathletes only. Prefer to not swim or run? No problem as we have both duathlon (run-bike-run) and aquabike (swim-bike) options. The RVA Sprint Tri will feature a “seeded” race start with the top 12 seeded women starting approximately 7 minutes ahead of the top 12 seeded men to set up an exciting battle of the sexes to cross the finish line first!
