Welcome, new and returning Top Gun Triathlon participants

The Top Gun Triathlon is traditionally one of the largest Sprint Triathlons in the Tampa Bay area. Register as an individual or grab some friends and take part in a 2 or 3-person relay team!

TOP GUN is here! We have some very cool surprises this year on the course that will make every runner very happy! These surprises will now and forever become a part of TOP GUN. We shared these surprises with a few people, and they said people are going to love everything.

TOP GUN is during the hot season, so this year and every year hereafter, it will be BEER 30! Plus some good hot food & cold sandwiches.
