Crystal Coast Indoor Triathlon
The Crystal Coast Indoor Triathlon is an indoor multi-sport event held at the Cape Carteret Aquatic and Wellness center, also known as The GYM. This 6th annual event takes place in Cape Carteret, North Carolina. The competition is structured around three specific timed segments rather than fixed distances:
- 20-minute swim in an indoor pool
- 20-minute indoor cycle session
- 20-minute run on treadmills
The event organizers utilize a wave start system to manage the flow of participants. Each wave is limited to 8 athletes, with two participants assigned to each swimming lane. Participants choose their specific wave time during the registration process. To ensure a smooth transition, athletes are required to be in the pool area at least ten minutes before their assigned wave begins. Volunteers are stationed at the pool, basketball court, and treadmill areas to provide direction and signal the timing for each segment.
Registered participants receive a swag bag that includes a souvenir and promotional materials. Packet pickup is available at the front desk of the facility on the day before the event or on the morning of the competition. The indoor facilities, including specific treadmill sets and the pool area, are reserved exclusively for the event and marked off from general gym use. Proceeds from the registration fees support local high school swim teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
