Houston Area Triathlons (and duathlons) - 2015

I'm in the process of updating this list. If you see a 2015 date, it's been updated. Many date for the tris later in the year just haven't been set yet, but they are typically the races are on or about the same weekend. The only big change so far is that the Sugar Land is much earlier.

When I first decided to get into triathlons, I found it hard to find a complete listing of Houston area triathlons. Some sites will give you all of Texas, but Texas is big. Nothing was as good as the Houston Running Calendar site is for runs. So below are races within a 40-50mi radius of downtown Houston.

As you can see there is something almost every weekend outside of the winter. Of course, if I forget something, feel free to comment.
