The Barton Springs Pool Tree-athlon is a fun  way to support Barton Springs Pool, Austin’s most famous and cherished swimming hole.  As shown in the course map below, the Treeathlon will be a very, very short and fun event in and around Barton Springs Pool, starting with a short swim across the width of Barton Springs Pool (about 300 feet), a short bike ride around the park from the pool (about 2/3 mile), and then a run (1/4 to 1/2 mile) inside Zilker Park.  We are also working on a finish line party for anyone who manages to complete this grueling course.  Hence, the name Barton Springs Pool Tree-athlon Fun-raiser. (Insert groan here).
