The 29th Annual Dragonfly Sprint Triathlon will be Saturday, August 25, in Sardis, Miss. Presented by P.R. Event Management, the event begins at 8 a.m. on the sandy white beach at Cypress Point on the Lower Lake at Sardis Reservoir. The triathlon includes a 1/2 -mile swim, an 18-mile bike course through beautiful pastoral country and a 4-mile run along portions of a shady woodland trail. Sardis Lake is located approximately 50 miles south of Memphis, just off Highway 55 South between Como and Batesville.
Early registration is $65.00. Price increases to $70 after August 19. Relay Teams are encouraged to enter. To register, go to pr-eventmanagement.net.
All participants will receive a custom-designed tee-shirt and finishers will receive a custom-designed die-cast medal. Award winners in each category will receive handcrafted pottery platters and bowls created by local artist Miranda Bavier, an art teacher for Shelby County Schools. The awards will be presented from 9:30-11 a.m. at a post-race party in the pavilion featuring fare from Southern Voodoo Kitchen.
The event venue offers participants and their families an opportunity to swim, picnic, boat and explore numerous public day use areas on the lake at John W. Kyle State Park and nearby Holly Springs National Forest.
