The Story Behind She Tris

Founded by Angie and later joined by Sarah, She Tris was born from the vision of creating a women-only triathlon environment that eliminates intimidation and fosters community. What started as a small South Carolina event quickly grew into multiple races across North and South Carolina.

Beginner-Friendly Distances

Unlike traditional triathlons, She Tris offers super sprint-style races designed to be approachable:

🏊 200-yard pool swim (time trial start)
🚴 8–9 mile bike ride
🏃 2–3 mile run (walk-friendly!)

Kids as young as 4 can also get involved through She Tris Girls events, making this series perfect for the entire family.

More Than a Race

For Sarah and Angie, the real reward isn’t just race day—it’s the stories of transformation. Women overcoming personal challenges, moms reclaiming their athletic identity, and daughters stepping into sport for the first time. The finish line is filled with smiles, hugs, and confidence.
