This Labor Day come out and enjoy the 2nd Annual TriRock – Triathlon Series Austin! Formerly the Austin Triathlon, this popular event, featuring triathletes of all levels, is held in downtown Austin. It all starts with a swim course that begins at the Stevie Ray Vaughn statue along Lady Bird Lake, next is the closed bike course over the Congress Street Bridge and the grand finale is the running course along the Auditorium Shores running path. There will be music all along the course and at the end a post race concert!
