2008 Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series

FROM THE TENT (Race Updates)

It's definitely summertime in Charleston! Temperatures in the low 90's and humidity starting to creep up. And for the eighteenth year the CHARLESTON SPRINT TRIATHLON SERIES helps define the best of what summertime offers in the Lowcountry.

FROM THE TENT is the location for registration availability, weather updates, and other important information during the season. Please check here before each race for any updates.

PACKET PICK-UP: Packet pick-up will be Saturday before each race from 5-7 PM at the Park. Packet pick-up will resume at 6 AM on Raceday. Picking up on Saturday is a great thing for participants and the race. It really helps the race out by reducing the number of pick-ups on Sunday and for the participants it helps avoid the longer lines and stress on Sunday. Arrive early (in any event) on Sunday; 6:00- 6:15. You will enjoy things more and be less rushed than those that arrive at 6:30- 6:45. 

SPECTATORS: Spectators have become a cherished part of CSTS. It is a joy to watch the hundreds of spectators come out early, stay late, and cheer not just their special athletes but the whole field of athletes. Please thank your fans for coming out and let them know how much they are appreciated and are welcomed as a special part of CSTS.

Everything is in place for another spectacular season. Ultimately a triathlon is a personal journey; none of us were born triathletes. Each competitor, regardless of strength or speed or personal history, has made the decision that they will stand on the edge of the lake, pull their goggles into place, and give it their all. Let's see where that journey takes us this summer.

Thanks for your support over the years and we look forward to another great summer of racing.
