The SOS Triathlon is an epic adventure, exclusively designed for seasoned Triathletes who can comfortably and confidently complete our qualifying standards. The endurance event starts with one 30 mile bike segment, includes three open water swims and four trail runs which add up to almost 20 miles of running and 2 miles of swimming. Only qualified athletes may register. 

All Entrants in the S.O.S. must have completed a Half distance (70.3) within 7 hrs or a Full distance (140.6) in 15 hours, within 18 months of race day. Athletes may use SOS 2024 as a qualifying event. If you have completed the SOS in 2024, please include your finishing time as part of your registration. 

You have until August 15th 2025 to prove this, otherwise you'll be notified that you will not be eligible to join us. This is for your safety, and logistical reasons.

Bottom line- If you aren't 100% confident that you'll be joining us on race day in the physical condition to confidently have met our qualification standards, DO NOT REGISTER.
