The Houston Methodist Texas City Triathlon, Duathlon and Aquabike is a large, well organized standalone sprint event created for athletes of all levels. The course begins with an inviting 500 meter swim in the sandy bottom waters off the Texas City Dike, continues with a fast and flat 15 mile bike ride, and finishes with a scenic 3.1 mile run through Bay Street Park. The bike course is almost entirely closed to traffic, apart from a couple of miles on low speed roads with minimal traffic, giving athletes the freedom to settle into their ride and enjoy the experience. Much of the race unfolds along the Texas City Dike, a truly distinctive coastal setting with expansive views across Galveston Bay. First time triathletes will find an approachable course and plenty of guidance, while experienced athletes can enjoy a smooth, competitive race. With dedicated volunteers, strong course support and options for individuals, relay teams, para athletes and those choosing the duathlon or aquabike, the event delivers a polished race experience with a genuine community feel.

It is an excellent challenge for runners and cyclists looking to expand their competitive experience, as well as seasoned multisport athletes seeking a fast and demanding race. Bring your best effort, embrace the changing rhythm of each leg, and experience the satisfaction of crossing the finish line after completing two disciplines in one memorable event.
The Aquabike

The Texas City Aquabike combines swimming and cycling for athletes who want a rewarding endurance challenge without the final run. Competitors begin in the water before transitioning onto the bike course, creating a race that tests strength, stamina, focus, and efficient transitions. Aquabike is an ideal option for swimmers and cyclists, athletes managing their running load, or anyone interested in experiencing multisport competition in a different way. With two distinct disciplines and a supportive race-day environment, the event offers a meaningful opportunity to challenge yourself, celebrate your training, and become part of the Texas City multisport community.
