The Texas Woman's University soccer team will host the eighth-annual Pioneer Power Sprint Triathlon & 5K on Sunday, July 27, 2014, on the picturesque TWU Denton campus.
Â
The sprint triathlon, a USA Triathlon (USAT) sanctioned event, is scheduled to begin at 6:45 a.m. and will feature a 200 yard swim, a 16.1 mile (26 km) bike ride, and a 3.1 mile run. The registration fee for the sprint tri is $65.00 from now through June 10, $75.00 from June 11-July 15, and $89.00 from July 16-July 22.
Â
For the second year in a row, the sprint triathlon will include a team competition. The team competition will consist of three divisions – male, female, and coed. This is not a relay, as each team member will do all three components of the sprint tri – the swim, bike, and run. The overall race times of the three team members will be added together to determine a final team time. The team with the lowest total time in their division will win team trophies. Racers that participate on a team are still eligible for overall and age-group awards. An additional incentive to sign up as a team is that the total team registration fee is $165.00 from now through June 10, a discount of nearly $10.00 off the individual participant registration fee. 22 teams (10 male, 3 female, and 9 co-ed) competed in the 2013 Pioneer Power Sprint team competition.   Â
Â
The separate 5K race is back again this year. The 5K is open to both runners and walkers and will start at 7:30 a.m. outside the triathlon transition area and take place on the same run course being utilized for the sprint triathlon. The registration fee for the 5K is $25.00 from now through June 10, $30.00 from June 11-July 15, and $35.00 from July 16-22. 78 males and 42 females participated in the 2013 Pioneer Power Sprint 5K. Overall and age group awards will be given out for the 5K this year.
