Freedom Springs Triathlon

The Freedom Springs Triathlon, held annually at Blue Springs Recreation Park in Marianna, Florida, is a patriotic sprint triathlon celebrating Independence Day. The event features a 400-meter swim in cool spring water, a fast 10-mile out-and-back bike course, and a 5K run that begins on pavement and transitions to a clay road. Open to beginners and experienced triathletes alike, it offers individual, relay (teams of 2 or 3), and virtual race options.

Sanctioned by USA Triathlon, the race emphasizes community spirit and fitness, encouraging participants to "tri" regardless of winning. The scenic course and festive atmosphere make it a popular July 4th sporting event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
