The Tampa Bay BABES Triathlon is more than just a finish line – it’s a community and a celebration of women supporting one another while doing hard things TOGETHER.
ALL places, backgrounds, abilities, and shapes celebrated!
When you race with us, you become part of a community of badass women who support each other every step of the way.
For women by women - this is a celebration from packet pick up to the finish line, and beyond!
We want YOU! Headed by Captain Mike of Dunlap & Dunlap, the MOB Squad is essential for our athletes’ race day success. Providing a morale boost, water, muscle power, and more – the MOB Squad makes it happen.
Prepare for race day by picking up your packet early on Saturday, June 22, 2024 at St. Pete Running Company. For those unable to make it, race day pickup is available from 5:45 am -6:45 am at North Beach.
Plan your day with our detailed race day timeline, ensuring you’re ready for the starting gun at 7:15 am.
Explore essential information on bike rentals, race day registration, course details, wetsuit guidelines, and more. We’re here to address all your queries and ensure you have a seamless experience from start to finish.
Several local bike shops do rent road bikes. Call early as all of them have a limited number available.
You can have 2 or 3 people on a relay. You will divide the swim, bike, and run among your team. With a 2-person relay, one person will do two legs. With a 3-person relay, each person will do one of the legs.
Once the first athlete finishes the swim, they will meet their cyclist in the transition area at their rack.
The cyclist will take the timing chip off the swimmer’s ankle, put it on their own, and then set off on the bike. The cyclist will then meet the runner back in transition at the same spot. The runner will grab the timing chip off the cyclist’s ankle, put it on their own, and set off on the run.
The team's overall time is the combined total of all the segments, including transitions. The entire team is welcome to cross the finish line with their runner. All members of the relay will receive a finisher’s medal and a race shirt.
NO. This is a USA Triathlon Sanctioned event. Headphones, headsets, walkmans, iPods, mp3 players, or personal audio devices - including bone conduction varieties - cannot be used at any time during the race.

Yes, any bike in safe working condition that has brakes and bar end plugs is permitted. If you are unsure about your bicycle, we recommend taking it to your local bike shop (BikeSport is our bike support partner for this event) to get it checked out. Fixed gear bicycles are NOT permitted per USAT regulations.
YES! You must wear a helmet anytime you are touching your bicycle. So, put it on and buckle it before unracking your bicycle. Once you have finished your ride, re-rack and then you may take your helmet off. This is a USA Triathlon regulation and can result in disqualification if not abided by.
We love the Global Triathlon Network (GTN) channel on YouTube for high quality resources. You can check out their tutorial on transitions here.
