750m River Swim ~ 18.8 mi Bike ~ 5k Run
  
Race start time 7am   
  • I Love The Tavern Triathlon is for all levels of experience
  • takes place at the Robious Landing Park off of James River Road in Midlothian, Virginia (Southside Richmond).
  • 750m swim is in the James River; Water temp expected to be warm, 78-84 degrees.  This spring has been very wet, so water temp is still on the cooler side. We will post temp during race week. Wetsuits will likely be illegal. See wetsuit page for details.  You will swim across, against, and with current. If the river is rough or too fast, the race director reserves the right to substitute a short run of 1-2 miles in place of the swim portion. 
  • 18.8 mile road bike (out-n-back)
  • 5k run (70% trail)
  • awesome post race party featuring BBQ from the coolest restaurant in Richmond, the Tavern!
  • awards for a wide group of categories
  • triathletes love this race because of the park, scenic river trail run, food, and fun ... no boredom here folks!
  • the race benefits Comfort Zone Camp, offering a fun & safe place for grieving children where kids can remember their loved ones in a safe and healing camp environment.    
Bring a Blankie!
This is for the post race picnic for you to sit on and then to donate it to a local charity.

AQUABIKE CATEGORY!
Aquabike category is a separate division of the race with it's own awards (no age groups). The Aquabike category is for those that are not able to (or don't really care to) run. Racers will do the 750m swim, followed by the 18.8mi bike, then instead of heading out to the run, you head straight for the finish line!
 
PINT GLASS SERIES AWARD:
Richmond Multisports produces 7 triathlons.  Anyone who races 4 out of 6 races  (Rocketts Landing, HHHunt Power Sprint, I Love the Tavern, Pink Power, Napier Realtors Richmond Sprint, and Naylor's Beach) will receive a commemorative pint glass & series certificate!  Power Kids is not included in the series but Pink Power is for women.  Good Luck!
