MKT Distillery Triathlon

MKT Distillery Triathlon

Join us Saturday, May 20, 2023 for the MKT Distillery Triathlon!

Recently No Label Brewery informed me moving forward in 2023 they will only be holding their own based events, no outside events.

So, with that news I’m moving this event back home to its original starting place, where I started back in 2010. Moving forward this event will be called The MKT Distillery Triathlon and it will take place at the MKT Distillery located in the same parking lot and we will have the same routes and distances. The MKT Distillery will provide special cocktails for all our athletes that day along with plenty of space for team tents, and much more.

This is a sprint triathlon which starts at the Katy Natatorium with a 300 meter pool swim followed by a 12.9 mile bike ride and a 3 mile run back to the MKT Distillery. For this event the transition will be at Katy Natatorium located at 6331 Hwy. Blvd. in Katy, Texas. Parking is at the Katy High School Natatorium and once transition has opened we will shuttle you back to transition to get your items. This event will be limited to 550 athlete.
