The Cincinnati Triathlon offers one of the most challenging and

Boathouse to the exit point at Public Landing (adjacent to the

completely closed to traffic, is through downtown and on the hills of
Columbia Parkway adjacent to, and with spectacular views of, the Ohio River.
The Cincinnati Triathlon's is over the shaded sidewalks of
Friendship Park, over the Ohio River on the Purple People Bridge and in the shadows of Cincinnati's downtown and sports
stadiums. Go to the Course page for detailed
descriptions and maps. ENTRY INFO

REGISTRATION AND PACKET PICK UP*
Saturday, July 24, 11-4pm, Sawyer Point
Great Ohio River Swim - 6:30am on 7/25, Sawyer Point
Please respect no race day packet pick up. Since we have announced we will not be doing packet pickup on race day, we will not be staffed to accommodate you and you may not be able to race. If you absolutely, positively cannot make it on the Thursday or Saturday before the race, please email racedirector@tucsonracing.com and special arrangements will be made for you to pick up your race number.
If you are an annual member of USA Triathlon please bring your valid annual membership card with a photo ID to packet pickup. If you do not bring your membership card and photo ID then you will be assessed the $10 one day insurance fee. We cannot make exceptions to this rule per our insurance agreement with USA Triathlon. To do so will jeopardize our insurance coverage.
*Packet pick up is not available at the Triathlon Walk Through on 7/22 but you may register for the event at that time.
In order to insure a fair playing field for all athletes, the Cincinnati
Triathlon will be following USAT Triathlon rules with respect to wetsuit
use. Wetsuits will be allowed only if the water temperature is
78.0 and below. The wetsuit ruling will be made on race day.
In 2008 and 2009 wetsuits were not allowed.
This race will be timed by the state of the art IPICO timing system. Chips will be issued to each athlete on race day. Chips must be worn at all times while participating. The chip will be the "baton" for relay participants. The chip must be surrendered at the end of the race. A $15 charge will be assessed for a lost chip or a chip that is not turned in.
RESULTS
Results will be posted on this website late on race day. BEST PLACE FOR SPECTATORS
Swim: Anywhere along Sawyer Point is best for a panoramic view of the swim and the Ohio River. The swim start, due to the narrow stairs will not be a good place to view but there are a number of viewing areas between the swim start and the swim finish in Friendship Park.
Bike: Please do not attempt to get in your vehicle to view the bike course. Many of the streets will be closed to traffic and it will be difficult, if not impossible, to get access to the course. The best place to view the bike course is the anywhere along Pete Rose Way or Mehring Way.
Run: Anywhere along the run course is a great place to see the race. Please do not go on the Purple People Bridge as that area will be congested with runners.
Finish: Lots of space for great spectating at Yeatman's Cove.
The Cincinnati Triathlon does not provide parking for this event.
There is NO PARKING at Public Landing on the morning of the race! You may park at Public Landing for the Triathlon Walk Through, the Great Ohio River Swim and, if space is available, for registration on Saturday, July 25th.
There is ample parking throughout Downtown Cincinnati. In general, most garages and lots charge a nominal fee to park for the morning. PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF YOUR BIKE IF YOU USE A ROOF TOP CARRIER AND PARK IN A GARAGE. There is also City of Cinncinnati parking at the foot of and just east of the Purple People Bridge (please see map, below).
