Triathlon Distance:
Swim: 350-yard pool swim
Bike: 13-mile bike course through the rolling hills of Irmo, S.C.

Duathlon Distance:

The Tom Hoskins Memorial Sprint Triathlon is held in memory of Tom Hoskins who was hit and killed during a charity bicycle ride in 2007. Hoskins’ widow and race organizers hope the event will raise awareness of bicycling safety in South Carolina.
