The Edisto Island Triathlon

Dive into the excitement of the Edisto Island Triathlon, a thrilling half iron distance event situated on the scenic Edisto Island and Edisto Beach in South Carolina. This captivating race promises participants a unique experience with its channel swim that follows the tide, a flat and swift two-loop bike course, and a remarkably flat run along the island's interior roads. Kicking off at the Live Oak Boat Ramp, the swim takes advantage of the current, ensuring a wetsuit-legal swim that concludes at The Marina next to Bay Creek Park. Athletes will swiftly transition from the water to embark on the bike ride, which navigates through hidden and peaceful roadways of Edisto, offering a fast-paced journey with minimal elevation changes.

The run is designed as a two-loop out-and-back course, taking runners through the charming roads of Edisto Beach and the Wyndham Resort Property, where they will encounter the island's only "hill," a modest 15-foot ascent. Along the way, participants will pass Whaley's Bar & Grill multiple times—a prime spot for spectators—and will have access to numerous aid stations.

Join in the post-event celebrations at Bay Creek Park on the island's western edge. The Edisto Island Triathlon also includes an Aquabike category, featuring the same exhilarating swim and bike segments. This event is a proud part of the South Carolina Triathlon Series, promising an unforgettable experience for both competitors and spectators alike.
