FAQs

  • Each person should have bike and helmet in working condition and running shoes.

    Additional gear needed to participate in the training includes: swimsuit, goggles, towel, sunscreen, hat or visor, sunglasses, shorts, tee shirt and socks

  • Kids and adults should be able to swim without floatation device to participate in the training series.

  • The mock tri is at the same venue as the actual race, Melvin Ford Aquatic Center at Memorial Park in Bentonville.

  • Not at this time. We want to ensure athletes have the full support and for liability, have to ensure the necessary safety protocols are in place, which is why we’ve created the Dare to Tri partnership to offer an exclusive training opportunity for adult para-athletes.

What People Are Saying

“The training series helped me build confidence, connect with other like-minded people and grow both mentally and physically stronger.”

— Cassandra Hammaker

“The first time I considered doing a triathlon was the first year of Trifest. I didn’t even know how to swim. I came to the training session and met Jo and figured if she could do it with a smile on her face, I could do a tri. She is still smiling and I am still racing.”
