Oilman Texas Triathlon
The Oilman Texas Triathlon is a multi-sport event held at the Margaritaville Lake Resort Lake Conroe in Montgomery, Texas. The weekend features a variety of endurance events including a half-iron distance triathlon, a sprint distance triathlon, a 5K run, and youth duathlons. Participants must be at least 18 years old to compete in the half-distance and sprint events.
The main triathlon events utilize the natural landscape of Lake Conroe and the surrounding Montgomery County area. The courses involve open water swimming, cycling through regional forests, and running on golf course paths and through local neighborhoods.
