• Description: The Hartsville Family YMCA Sprint Triathlon is quickly becoming THE event to score big points in the SCTS standings. Normally less competitive than the International distance event held on the same day, the sprint has propelled many athletes to the top of their respective age groups heading into the final events of the season.
  
  The 500 meter swim course is a counter clockwise triangle course. Chop is light to non-existant and there is little to no current. Wetsuits are not needed and normally not allowed as water temperatures can approach 85 degrees.
  
  The 15 mile bike course is one loop of the course (the international distance course is two loops). Athletes leave the event site and complete one loop before heading back to the transition area. Road surfaces are fair to good and traffic is very light. Turns are marked with pavement arrows and directional signs while volunteers and police man each intersection.
  
  The 5k run course is a simple out and back. After turn left out of the event site, athletes travel to the turn around aid station (mile 1.5) before heading back to the site and the finish line. Aid stations will be hit at miles 0.5, 1.5 and 2.0 with water, sportsdrink, electrolyte tablets and Hammer Gel being served.
