2010 Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series

It is hard to believe that this summer will mark the Twentieth Anniversary of the Charleston Sprint Triathlon Series. Nearly 25,000 people have raced in CSTS over the years and with the demand for entry continuing at a very high level the decision has been made to expand the Series to FIVE races.

Due to safety and quality issues, it has been impossible for us over the years to expand the individual triathlons to greater and greater numbers of participants, so adding a race, although a mighty challenge in itself, seems to be the best way to accommodate the demand. Most of our summer is spent trying our best to squeeze everyone into the Series but unfortunately each summer we have to turn away several hundred people who miss the cut-off numbers. Hopefully, adding an additional race will mean fewer people turned away.

The Series Points Standings will continue to be based upon the top finishes in three races. Remember, this is the best site for updated race and registration information and projections. Your Active.com receipt is your confirmation; we do not send additional confirmation. The preregistered list will be posted on the Tuesday before each racedate.

Although May 23 seems a ways off- it will be exciting to see how that racedate shapes up. It seems like the May date for CSTS is going to be unique in that it will be for the first time out of the traditional summer months and will kick-off the first five race Series in CSTS history. As a note; the first six years of the Series were a three race format. The next thirteen years we have had a four race format.

If you can't wait until May remember the 2010 East Cooper Coastal Triathlon is set for April 18th. Be careful in your training and see you soon.
