Our swim course is presented by our official Wetsuit sponsor, XTERRA! The swim will take place in the Kelly Pool in West Fairmount Park. Triathletes will enter the water at one end and swim six (6) lengths of the pool in a serpentine fashion [swim up lanes 1/2, down lane 3, up lane 4… and finish in lanes 7/8] There will be ample certified lifeguards on sight. If at any point an athlete feels the need to rest they can simply grab the lane line located on either side. There is NO penalty to do so… this is all about finishing!
The Bike Course is sponsored by Stampone O'Brien Dilsheimer Law
The 9 Mile Bike course utilizes scenic West Fairmount Park and Martin Luther King Blvd. The entire bike is CLOSED TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC, aka NO CARS ALLOWED! You can feel safe knowing there are only bikes on the course.

This was my first triathlon and it was so fun and easy to navigate! Looking forward to this year’s event!
This was a great event! I can’t say enough about the organization, event staff and volunteers! This was my first competitive event ever and the helpfulness, courteousness, and encouragement displayed by staff and volunteers alike was overwhelming! The venue is beautiful! My husband who is an avid competitor was blown away by the organization! I can’t wait to participate again!
It was amazing! So well run especially for it being the first! Thank you for showing off our beautiful city and for inspiring such feelings of community and excitement! There were women of all ages and shapes and we all had such a great time cheering each other on! Way to go ladies! Will definitely be back next year!
So impressed with the logistics, communication, course, and good sportsmanship! FANTASTIC 1st tri experience. Will be back!
This Tri is beautiful! Full of diversity, empowering and so well organized. I had a blast!
A well-run and organized race! Love the pool swim and the bike and run courses are great!
Lots of positive hype, beautiful course, safe swim, nice volunteers, great DJ, race director and announcer, organized, well marked course, good photos, and lots of very supportive women!!!!!
The BEST! DelMoSports is World Class in providing a safe, fun and very supportive race experience for all of this phenomenal Girl Power💪🏻🙌🏻
I will NEVER miss this event purely based on the AMAZING energy alone! Don’t get me wrong, the course is absolutely beautiful but the mix of new triathletes and those with 20+ years experience is absolutely AWESOME....SO MUCH SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT and POSITIVITY out there, I love it!!! It’s what Triathlon is all about🙌🏻
Such a well organized and inspiring race. Definitely will do it again next year.
LOVED it! I've done races before but never a relay, but OMG, what a teamwork experience this was! Not just my team, but the entire DelMo team, making this run like clockwork. Excellent job, and THANK YOU to the volunteers! See you all next year!! :D
OMG! What an awesome day and very well organized! Everything went so smooth and I love the courses. Great Job and to all the volunteers! Thank you so much for introducing me to this sport! I will be back!
Excellent race. Excellent volunteers. Excellent triathletes.
So well-organized with so much helpful information in the days leading up to the race, answering every question big and small for all of us beginners. Such an encouraging and empowering environment was created and I felt such camaraderie with all of the women around me and felt so supported throughout. I CANNOT wait to do this race again next year. Thank you for all of the incredible work you put into making this race truly magical and the best first tri experience I could have asked for.
The race today was beyond my expectations! The crowd, the volunteers, the location - everything. As a first time triathlete, I was so nervous signing up for this but I was in the best hands: all i felt was encouragement and love and support from the race director to the staff who helped me learn to rack my bike to the volunteers who gave me water and so many others. DelMoSports is the best- I’ll be back next year!
