• Ages: 6–18 years old
• Schedule: The 2026 Albany Community Triathlon is scheduled for Sunday, 20 September 2026, with registration typically opening in the Spring or early Summer, and an awards ceremony taking place around Noon.
The Albany Community Triathlon began in 2008 and, from 2008 through 2024, has raised nearly $100,000 in net proceeds for the Albany Athletics Boosters. The event is a fundraiser for the Albany Athletics Boosters, raising funds for high school and middle school athletic programs and the high school leadership group. The community of Albany, California invites people to participate to raise money for Albany Middle School and Albany High School athletics and programs, and the event is part of Albany Local Week. The AlbanyTri has been held annually except for 2010 and 2011, when the pool underwent a major renovation, and in 2020 (virtual event) and 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The Albany Community Triathlon is described as a beginner-friendly, family-friendly, spectator-friendly, super short, super fun triathlon. AlbanyTri is 100% volunteer powered, and participants can compete as individuals or in relay teams of 2–3 athletes. The main course is for participants ages 9 and up, and the short course mini version is for ages 6 and up, for kids and adults, with adults and kids able to compete in the short course. A Family & Friends heat allows participants to be in the same or different heats as family or friends. Youth discounts offer significantly reduced entry fees for ages 17 and younger, and there is a Beat-A-Triathlete challenge fundraising option. The event uses chip timing with per-leg splits and overall finish times, and registered athletes who show up on race day receive a high-quality event T-shirt and other swag at packet pick up on Saturday before race day or at race day check-in, with the option to decline the shirt during registration to put more of the fee toward fundraising. Post-race festivities include healthy food, race results, free massage sign-ups, and socializing.
