Downtown Indianapolis Tri Indy has something new for you!  Not only does this event take place on the periphery of the beautiful downtown, but the swim is unique as it occurs in the Canal.  The run and bike sections pass along the beautiful banks of the White River and downtown streets.

The swim starts at various points along the Canal according to the triathlon distance you are accomplishing, and it ends at the luscious green landscaped lawns of the White River State Park.  This is also the setting of your transition area which is soft underfoot.  The Canal is approximately 1.5 mile long, lined by a spectacular paved walk away totaling a 3 mile loop.  Spectators and supporters alike can join in the triathlon fun and enjoy the skyline and serene atmosphere by using this pathway to walk alongside you while you swim.  On weekdays this waterfront is filled with pedal boats, gondolas, bicycles, runners and walkers.  On St Patrick’s Day the Canal is dyed green in common tradition.
