Due to the level of algae in the lake at Nathan Benderson Park following uncontrollable recent weather conditions, all races at the Sarasota-Bradenton Triathlon Festival will be shifted from triathlons (swim-bike-run format) to duathlons (run-bike-run format). The schedule and start times for all events will remain the same.
