The Turtleman Triathlon & Duathlon is the fastest-growing multi-sport event in South Florida. This race WILL sell out, so register early to hold your spot! Nestled in the heart of beautiful Jupiter, Florida, you will swim in the pristine waters of the Atlantic Ocean, ride down the coast with spectacular beach views, and run through scenic Carlin Park.
The Super Sprint distance is perfect for first-timers and pros alike. Race full throttle to find out who is the fastest, or relax and take in the breathtaking views that Turtleman has to offer.
Want to go longer? No problem. The Sprint Distance is just for you!
SUPER SPRINT – 300YD SWIM, 5MI BIKE, 1.6MI RUN
SPRINT – 600YD SWIM, 10MI BIKE (2-LOOPS), 3.1MI RUN
