The Spring Sprint Triathlon is Utah's premier pre-season race. What better place to kick off the 2012 Triathlon season than at 2 world-class venues! Begin with a 'swim-first' 400 meter pool swim in the Olympic pool at Kearns Oquirrh Park Fitness Center (KOPFC), add a challenging bike course with hills and flats, and end with an exciting run course with a one-of-a-kind finish on the indoor track of the Utah Olympic Oval. Oh...and did we mention that this is one of the most spectator-friendly races around!
