The RVA Sprint Triathlon is Richmond’s only pool sprint triathlon. Hosted by the Rockville Center, this race is set in beautiful Rockville, VA. Participants will enjoy a short pool swim, rolling rural bike, and fun out-and-back run course.  This event includes a classic sprint triathlon, kid’s splash & dash (swim-run), and new this year we will also have a shorter beginner-only race for first-time triathletes only.  Prefer to not swim or run?  No problem as we have both duathlon (run-bike-run) and aquabike (swim-bike) options.  The RVA Sprint Tri will feature a “seeded” race start with the top 12 seeded women starting approximately 7 minutes ahead of the top 12 seeded men to set up an exciting battle of the sexes to cross the finish line first!

Every finisher will receive a finisher’s medal.  Awards will be given to the top 3 male and female overall in the triathlon, duathlon, and aquabike as well as in each age group category for the triathlon and splash & dash.

At Live Red Foundation (LRF), we believe in living with purpose—whether through racing or serving. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, every event we host funds the important work we are doing in Richmond’s lowest-opportunity neighborhoods, providing free fitness programs that teach 8 core life skills to youth who need them most.

When you race with purpose, your miles fuel programs that bring fitness, mentorship, and hope to every child. When you serve with purpose, your time and talents directly impact lives, helping us reach more youth with encouragement and opportunity.

Do you believe in the power of fitness and community to transform lives? Whether you lace up to race or roll up your sleeves to serve, you join us on our mission to make this transformation possible for every child.
