Race Schedule

Collegiate athletes cat race for their schools in USAT conferences. UF is part of the Florida Collegiate Triathlon Conference. TriGators is the official FCTC team for the University of Florida. FCTC will chose the schedule of races from regular triathlons, so we are often racing among elite, age groups, amateurs and professionals. Race schedules are announced around the beginning of each semester. There are normally 4 races per semester. The race seasons are usually half sprint-distance and half international-distance (see below for what that means). Conference Championships are the third race of the spring semester and Collegiate Nationals are the fourth. Scoring is calculated in a cross-country style.

TriGators are not required to race, but many chose to do at least one, if not multiple conference races. In addition to earning points for our team, you can earn individual points.

This is the list of races the club will officially be competing in as a team. These aren’t the only races you will find TriGators at though. The Gator Nation is everywhere! You may see us and/or alumni participating together and supporting each other in races from sprints to Ironman.

Many races sell out and entry fees go up closer to the race, so register early. Also, double check the race website for dates and locations.
