The St. Croix Half Ironman Triathlon is held in the first week of May.

The Triathlon includes a 1. 2-mile swim, a 56-mile bike ride, and a 13. 1-mile run.

Because the bicycle route includes a ride up an extremely steep hill known as " The Beast ", this triathlon is often nicknamed " Beauty and the Beast ".
