Tri the Parks - Don Carter State Park Sprint

The Tri the Parks - Don Carter State Park Sprint is a sprint-distance multisport event held in Gainesville, Georgia, at Don Carter State Park. The race offers several formats including sprint triathlon, duathlon, aquabike, and their respective relays. The triathlon features a 600-meter swim in the lake, a 10.9-mile bike course through scenic northern Hall County roads with rolling hills, and a 5K run consisting of two laps on a paved walking path.

The swim uses a time trial start, and the bike course is marked with signs and staffed intersections, though it remains open to traffic. The event emphasizes safety and organization, with body marking, swim caps, and coordinated transition areas. Parking is available on-site with volunteer assistance.
