The Venues
The venues each year will be selected based upon sporting enthusiast and multi-sport participant populations, experience for athletes, and logistical friendliness.
All venues will be short in distance which allows the spectator the opportunity to view the entire course from one location.
The swim will be 300 meters in 2, 10-lane, 25 meter portable pools. The bike will be 7 laps (for a total of 5 miles) and the run will be 4 laps (for a total of 1.5 miles) within the venue. The race does not end then because the athletes dive back into the water and repeat each swim, bike and run again.

Media and Sponsors Comments
Triathlete Magazine: The buzz traveling through the crowd after Filip Ospaly sprinted away from a world class field to win the first Super Sprint Triathlon Grand Prix was unlike anything in the sport of triathlon. It wasn’t a feeling of inspiration like midnight at an Ironman, it was more like the environment at an NBA arena after a last-second shot. The entire crowd was exhilarated. Triathlon isn’t typically spectator friendly, but the Super Sprint Triathlon Grand Prix is worthy of network television coverage.
Finish Line Multisport: Hats off to you, Marc, for such a fun race. The blend of talent was awesome! ITU, Olympic non-drafting, 70.3 and Long Course athletes racing the same race shows the true diversity in our sport. Again, great job!
Rich Cruse: Thanks for a great race Marc! I look forward to more!
Suplicy Bikes: Amazing race Marc!!! Thanks for taking the initiative to do it! you can count on me for what ever you need in the future to take this to the next level!
Zerod: Super fun to watch and be a part of it. Know that Zerod will support the series. Great job!
2XU: Marc, you put together a world class event in a matter of weeks! Thanks to the athletes for such great racing! We missed this type of racing - thanks for reminding us how exciting triathlons can be! To the industry and athletes, let's make SSTriGP happen!
