Disco Sprint Tri presented by Tri Shop
July 14th, 2013 | www.discotriathlon.com
While some of our other races are more competitive, Disco is without a doubt our most popular.
It simple… Gold chains, big hair, polyester and silk, a KILLER race course, a beach start and a finish next to the lake. OH!!!! And of course, a LIVE DISCO BAND!
We offer three distances at Disco.
Sprint: 500 yard flat lake swim, 17.6 mile ride and 3.1 mile run.
Olympic: 1500 meter swim, 23-mile ride and 6.2 mile run.
X-50: 1 mile swim, 40 mile ride, 9 mile run.
- All have a spectator friendly beach start
- The bike ride has a couple of “Texas Hills”
- The run is awesome! Runners run through a tree lined state park.
You won’t be alone at Disco. You’ll have a thousand fellow athletes joining you on the course, along with tons of spectators to cheer you on and join us on the dance floor to do that boogie thang! Afros welcome!
For sponsorship information, please contact Tom Ryan.

1. It is the responsibility of each athlete to know the race course and any potential hazards which may exist on it.

3. Transition area is old school. Open racking/ first come first serve with in your race area! (Sprint in one area/Olympic in another area)
4. Wetsuits will not be allowed. It’s Texas. The water is warm! All athletes must wear a swimsuit. Nudity at this race is a 4-hour penalty or lunch with David Hasselhoff.
5. Make sure that you properly wear your race numbers (for all races) and timing chip (for all races). You will receive two numbers at packet pick-up. The bicycle frame number goes on your bicycle’s top tube, just behind the handlebars. The bib number must be worn on the front of your body during the entire run portion of the event. You will be body marked on race morning before the swim and the timing chips will be located close to transition also on race morning.
6. The roads are open to traffic. Ride on the right hand side of the road on the shoulder unless instructed otherwise by a police officer or a race official. Please discourage your friends and family members from driving on the race course while the race is in progress. Do not cycle in the car lanes.
7. Spectators will not be allowed into the transition areas. If you would like to hand your gear to a friend over the transition area fence before you begin the bike portion of the event you are welcome to do so.
8. Park only in designated parking places. Parking lots specifically designated for the Disco athletes and spectators will be provided.
9. Please help our volunteers keep the countryside clean and the residents of the area happy by discarding rubbish (gel packets, water bottles, banana peels, wrappers, cups, etc.) at the aid stations while racing.
