Hi Melissa,
Thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com!

The great thing about mini-tris is that they are roughly about the same distance from country to country. The swim is up to a mile, the bike is up to 20 miles and the run is up to 5 miles. The distances fall anywhere in those ranges.

Please email again with any questions.

Be well.
