Upper Dublin Triathlon/Duathlon/Aquabike/Run

Join us for the 14th year of racing in Upper Dublin Township!  This USAT-sanctioned race, produced by the Upper Dublin Township Parks & Recreation Department, is ideal for experienced athletes as well as a great introduction to the sport for newbies.  We have many race options including a triathlon (individual or relay), duathlon, aquabike and a run-only.  All race net proceeds will be donated to a variety of local and regional agencies in need.

Virtual Pre-Race Info Meetings

Leading up to the race, there will be a series of virtual race info meetings that will review what to expect leading up to the race and on race day.  Each info meeting will be the same presentation and cover the same material - these meetings are not mandatory.  Meeting dates will be announced closer to the date of the race.
