The Swim

The 3 mile run course proceeds partially along a small track around the Bayou Black Park, then onto Southdown Mandalay Rd.  Again, with its gentle, tree lined curves, it makes for nice scenery during your race!

About Us:

The Tarpon Triathlon originated in 2009 as a way to fund the Bayou Black Tarpons Swim Team, a public recreational swim team.  Since then, the proceeds have allowed the team to purchase necessary equipment, timing systems, & a storage shed, while keeping the cost to families at a minimum.  The team consists of more than 200 kids from age to 4-18.

Tarpon Triathlon

This is a 150 meter pool swim with a staggered start.  Racers are seeded according to their approximate swim times to improve the flow & safety in the pool.
