Hi Jen,
Thank you for contacting TriathaNewbie.com!

It's hard to find a uncompetitive triathlon due to the nature of the sport, but sometimes YMCA's and health clubs run hybrid triathlons meant mainly for fitness purposes. Contact your local organizations to find out more.

We also have separate event pages for every state on our Triathlon Event page. Here is the list on the Ohio Triathlon Events page for you to check out. If you find something you like, but it isn't exactly what you're looking for, call up the event organizers and see if they have any suggestions. Being local organizers, they are neck-deep in the triathlon scene and can point you in the right direction.
