Old College Tri & 5K 2026

The race.

The Old College Tri & 5K takes place August 23, 2026, in Denton, TX, featuring sprint triathlon and 5K running options. The sprint triathlon includes a 245-yard swim in the Lazy River, followed by biking and running segments. Participants can compete individually by age group or as male, female, coed, or mixed relay teams; team scoring combines all three discipline times, with the lowest total winning a team trophy. The 5K finishes inside the stadium where all participants receive a finisher's medal and race shirt, with a post-race celebration. Age group champions in both the triathlon and a 40-yard dash sprint receive first-place trophies. The event may be delayed up to one hour due to inclement weather, with course modifications or cancellation possible if conditions become unsafe.
