What distances are available in triathlon races?

Triathlon races offer various distances to cater to athletes of different abilities and fitness levels. The most common triathlon distances include Sprint, Olympic, Half Ironman, and Ironman races. Sprint triathlons typically involve a 750-meter swim, a 20-kilometer bike ride, and a 5-kilometer run. Olympic-distance triathlons consist of a 1.5-kilometer swim, a 40-kilometer bike ride, and a 10-kilometer run. Half Ironman races double the Olympic distance, with a 1.9-kilometer swim, 90-kilometer bike ride, and a 21.1-kilometer run. Ironman races are the most challenging, comprising a grueling 3.86-kilometer swim, a 180-kilometer bike ride, and a marathon-distance 42.2-kilometer run. Additionally, there are also shorter "super sprint" and longer "ultra-distance" triathlons available to provide a wide range of options for triathletes of all abilities.
