The Playtri Little Elm Lake Triathlon and Run-Bike-Run is a USA Triathlon sanctioned event held at Little Elm Park Beachfront Recreational Park in Texas. The event features multiple multisport options, including individual competitions and relay formats. The swim portions take place in the lake, where participants line up in starting corrals based on their predicted swim times. The cycling segments consist of multiple loops, while the run courses utilize a combination of roads and the paved trail system of Little Elm.
