Ballwin Triathlon
Sunday, July 20, 2025
In partnership with the City of Ballwin, MSE Racing is excited to host the iconic 27th annual Ballwin Triathlon. The USAT sanctioned Ballwin Triathlon is a 300-yard pool swim, 9-mile bike, and 3.4-mile run. This race is very popular and fills up to capacity almost every year. Wave start times are available on a first come, first serve basis so be sure to secure your spot early if a certain start time is important to you.
IT'S BACK this year: the Double Triathlon. If you are looking for a greater challenge, here’s your opportunity! Participants will complete the Ballwin Triathlon course and then head back to the pool to complete the course a second time beginning with one lap around North Pointe’s lazy river.
