The 16th Annual CRDA Atlantic City Triathlon presented by Stampone O'Brien Dilsheimer Holloway!

Bader Field in Atlantic City hosts an incredible venue for one of the best triathlons ON THE EAST COAST. You can race the former home to Ironman 70.3 Atlantic City and USAT Age-Group National Championships at the 16th Annual CRDA TRI AC!

This event features two distinct distances: Sprint and Olympic(ish)

The Sprint: .25 mile swim, 10 mile bike, and 5K run
