Kerrville Water Quality & Swim Update
High Five Events is pleased to announce that the swim portion of the Kerrville Triathlon will take place as planned. The water is adequate depth for swimming and the Upper Guadalupe River Authority (UGRA) tests show that the bacteria levels in the water represent a low risk.
Observations by the event staff found the water visibility is about 5ft and there is little to no debris in the water. There are a few stumps and branches that have been exposed due to the low water level, but those will be removed prior to the triathlon. The preliminary water temperature is 77 degrees.
The low water levels make access to the water difficult from the shore line at the location of the swim start and swim finish. Special ramps will be built for the triathlon to provide easy access into and out of the water.
The Upper Guadalupe River Authority (www.UGRA.org) conducts Swimability Studies on a weekly basis throughout the summer. The latest test on September 6, 2011 shows that the levels are well below the threshold level considered safe for swimming. The test results may be viewed here: http://www.ugra.org/pdfs/Swimability2011.pdf. The location of the Kerrville Triathlon swim is the UGRA Dam. UGRA will conduct a test the week prior to the triathlon.

World-Class Triathlon Coming to Corpus Christi
World-Class Triathlon Coming to Corpus Christi
Event to Offer Great Experience for Beginners and Veterans
The Republic of Texas Triathlon Festival will feature sprint, Olympic and half-distance triathlon events, along with an expo and city-wide health and fitness challenge.
The triathlon will be produced by Austin, Texas-based High Five Events, whose principals were in town Monday for the announcement.
“Growing up in Sinton and working on the Corpus Christi beaches for many years, I have always known that downtown Corpus Christi would be the perfect place for a triathlon. We are excited to showcase the city with an event that all of Corpus Christi can be proud of,”Jack Murray said.
Said Dan Carroll, Murray’s partner in High Five Events: “Corpus Christi offers a venue with fantastic spectator opportunities and the city’s infrastructure is ideal for hosting a large triathlon.”
The weekend festival consists of three separate events. The sprint distance is a 400-meter swim, an 11-mile bike, and a two-mile run, ideal for first-time triathletes. The Olympic and half-distance events offer a more challenging experience for the seasoned triathlete. Rounding out the weekend festival are events for the entire family, including a health and fitness expo and a fun run for kids.
The event starts at the barge dock parking area in front of the American Bank Center. The finish for all events is located nearby at the newly-constructed Bayfront Park.
Proceeds from the event benefit STARRS Bike for Kids and other fitness programs. STARRS (South Texas Area Runners and Riders) is the region’s largest multi-sport organization.
