Located at the Fort at Fort De Soto Park.

EVENT HAS REACHED CAPACITY. REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

Welcome new and returning Top Gun Triathlon participants! 2009 marks the 9th year for the event. To those of you who have done the Top Gun Triathlon before, welcome back. To those new to the event, you may be interested to know that Fort De Soto park is ranked one of the top-ten beaches in the United States; nine hundred unspoiled acres surround you. First timers, we anticipate that you will have a great first triathlon at the Top Gun Triathlon. To all, we ask that you enjoy your surroundings and please leave the park cleaner than you found it.

Regarding registration, the Top Gun Triathlon is limited to 900 participants and traditionally sells out well before race day so please sign up today to guarantee your spot. There is no race day registration. No refunds. Your entry includes a custom Zorrell Technical Shirt ($25 value) and entry to our great post-race party.

Should you have questions about registration or the event, the best place to ask them is on our message board. The message board is also a great place for new triathletes to ask questions about triathlon and a place for the experienced to swap pre and post-race stories. If you need a hotel room, we have negotiated a special rate at the Holiday Inn Sun Spree Resort in St. Petersburg. Please see the hotel page for details. Should you need assistance with your bicycle, we suggest our official bicycle sponsor, OutSpokin Bicycles.

We look forward to seeing you at the event! Please enjoy the event and be safe.

Sincerely,
Joe Fernandez, Fred Rzymek
Co-Race Directors
