The swim is a challenging Rappahannock River course, bike has some heavy rollers, and the run is pretty flat yet sunny. You will actually need to train for this triathlon to finish it! Naylor's tri offers a plythera of categories: 2 or 3 person relays, aquabike (swim/bike only), aquathlon (swim/run only), Clydesdale (200 lbs) /Athenas (150 lbs), Collegiate, duathlon, and individuals. There is something for everyone to be able to participate!

AQUABIKE DIVISION

Racers will still do the 1.5k swim and the 26mi Bike, but instead of going on to the run, they will finish at the bike dismount line. This division is perfect for those not able to run or for those who are not quite ready for the full Olympic triathlon experience.

AQUATHLON DIVISION

The Aqua what? The Aquathlon Divsion will have racers swimming the 1.5k swim, then going immediately to the 10k run! No helmet, spare tubes, CO2 cartridges, or bike needed! Just your swim and running legs!
