Sign up for the 2023 Women’s Philadelphia Triathlon
The 2023 Women's Philadelphia Triathlon is almost sold out. Ladies. Ever think of doing a triathlon? Wonder if you could? This is the one for you. A sprint triathlon, and all women. The sprint triathlon is Sunday, July 9th and open to ages 12+. Wanna know the full name? The 6th Annual Stampone O’Brien Dilsheimer Law Women’s Philadelphia Triathlon & 5K Presented by Inspira Health. (We'll just call it the Women's Philadelphia Triathlon.) I did it. Myself and three of my friends participated in the Women's Philadelphia Triathlon inaugural race. It was awesome. Here are some of the reasons this race rules: The swim is in a pool. Not the Schuylkill. Not open water. Clean, clear, Kelly Pool in Fairmount Park. That alone makes this triathlon waaay more comfortable. It's all women. Philadelphia's ONLY all women's event. I found this race to be extremely friendly and supportive. It's short. As far as triathlons go, a sprint triathlon is a great attainable first race. How long is each leg of the race? 300 meter swim in Kelly Pool. 9 Mile Bike on closed roads. 5K Run through West Fairmount Park. There are also other options too like the Duathlon, Aquabike and 5K. Happening Saturday, July 8th and Sunday, July 9th, it's a weekend of events held in Fairmount Park. If you have kids who want to participate, there's a Kids' Splash & Dash on Saturday July 8th open to ages 5-14. Go for the tri though. You can do it.
