In addition to Olympic, Sprint and Super Sprint distances; relays in the Olympic and Sprint distances; and two youth courses, the U.S. Open Triathlon will also serve as the USA Triathlon South Midwest Collegiate Race Series Championship for college triathletes from Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
