Goose Pond Frantic Frog Sprint Triathlon and 5k

The Goose Pond Island Frantic Frog Sprint Triathlon returns to the Goose Pond Colony Resort, located in Scottsboro, Alabama on Saturday, May 24, 2025. Note: Due to cost of the event and decreasing participation in the Half Iron, we have regretfully decided to discontinue the Half Iron Distance starting in 2025.

We have added a 5k Run to the event this year, for those that don’t feel challenged to participate in the Triathlon. It will be the same course as the triathlon run portion. You won’t be required to have a USAT membership for the 5k.

We invite all to come enjoy the beauty and challenge awaiting in our host Northern Alabama venue!
