The Corpus Christi Triathlon and Duathlon takes place at Cole Park, located on beautiful Ocean Drive in Corpus Christi, Texas. This is a USA Triathlon (USAT) sanctioned event.
Proceeds from the race benefit the Bikes for Kids program, which provides quality bicycles to needy local children at Christmastime.
Course
The course is scenic, flat, and fast. The swim (known as "the toughest swim in Texas") is an out-and-back course in Corpus Christi Bay. Water conditions range from smooth to choppy, depending on wind. Wetsuits are recommended but not required (average April water temperature is 73). There is a 50-minute cutoff for the swim. The bike and run courses are the same for the triathlon and duathlon. Cyclists ride and out-and-back course down Ocean Drive, turning at the naval base. The run winds through Cole Park by the bay.
Timing
The race uses chip timing.
