Crystal Coast Indoor Triathlon

This is an indoor triathlon at The “GYM” Cape Carteret Aquatic & Wellness. This triathlon is for fun – every participant is a winner! The Triathlon consists of a 20-minute swim in our indoor pool, followed by a 20-minute indoor cycle class, and finally a 20-minute run on our Cybex Treadmills. This can be a great first multi-sport event for a beginner looking to step into the world of triathlons. For the established Triathlete, it could make a perfect brick workout in your training.

If you need more… try the NEW Iron Wave 50-minute swim, 50-minute cycle, followed by a 50-minute run starting in the pool at 10:30am. During this Iron Wave laps will be counted and  mileage will be recorded. Athletes must win 2/3 or 3/3 events to earn the first place medal. There can be only one winner of the IRON WAVE!
