Freedom Springs Triathlon

Freedom Springs Triathlon takes place at Blue Springs Recreation Park, 5461 Blue Springs Road, Marianna, Florida. The sprint triathlon features a 400-meter swim in spring water (68F; wetsuits allowed), a 10-mile out-and-back bike, and a 5K run that begins on pavement and traverses a clay road section. Now in its 40th year, the event cultivates a patriotic, celebratory atmosphere for America’s Birthday, including an early-morning National Anthem.

The race is USA Triathlon sanctioned and offers entry as an individual, a relay (two or three participants), or a virtual triathlon. Spots typically sell out, so early registration is advised. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
