Ascension Seton Captex Triathlon Monday Memorial Day

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Realty ~ 512.750.6899

Expect downtown Austin to be busy this Memorial Week-end as the Annual Ascension Seaton CapTex Triathlon returns this year! We are expecting over 2300 triathletes from across 26 states and 4 countries to converge in our capital city to participate on Memorial Day in the Triathlon!

           

This one of a kind event blends the scenic splendor of Lady Bird Lake with the exhilarating thrill of a triathlon! The Tri features a swim course in Lady Bird Lake, a bike ride through downtown Austin, and a run course around the picturesque Auditorium Shores. What a great way to start the summer off in Austin!

On Sunday, May 28th there will be a Health and Fitness Expo at the Palmer Events Center. It’s free and open to the public.

There will be multiple divisions and distances depending on abilities. Professional triathletes and elites can begin at the same time regardless of age and age groupers are separated into fie-year increments. In addition, the event features Athena and Clydesdale categories. There are also aquabike and relay options for race day. The relay team can be composed of two or three members and the aquabike completes the swim and bike only. These events take lot of planning which they handle with ease. Last year marked the 30th anniversary of this event!

This was from last year:

           

Athletes, get ready to swim, cycle, and run your way to victory at the Ascension Seton CapTex Tri presented by Life Time, this Memorial Day Week-end in downtown Austin! This triathlon is the perfect way to kick off the summer in style, joining in the fun competing with athletes from all over!

Gear up for an unforgettable experience! Celebrate Summer! Bring your friends and fans!!

I really admire those that compete in these types of events, but I have never had a desire to compete in any of them myself, haha.

When your city has big events, closed streets are to be expected Joan Cox . At least there are ways to get around!

Hi Dorie- how exciting for Austin!   I walk my 1 to 2 miles every morning and don't think I could make it in even part of the Triathlon.
