About Us
Swim Bike Run Fun began out of the desire among friends to have more women – of all backgrounds – enjoy the sport of triathlon, cycling and endurance cardio events.
We wanted to create a platform for beginners and those looking to have a good time – while crushing their fitness goals.
Hi, my name is Camille Baptiste and I am the Chief Funlete Choreographer at SBR Fun. You may know me as Sporty Diva or FlossyGlossy in the endurance multisport community because I bring a party everywhere I go!
In 2011, I traded in my dancing shoes for a pair of New Balance runners. Since then, I’ve been in love with endurance cycling, triathlons, duathlons and really embracing the multisport lifestyle.
But, that’s not all you need to know…
I learned to swim & Ride at 37 Years Old
Yes, you read that correctly.
I was introduced to triathlons in 2013 by a local Tri Club and participated in their annual Indoor Tri fundraiser event. I was up for the challenge, so I said, “HELL YES!”
But I had NO idea how to swim. So, I registered for an Adult-Learn-To-Swim class and started working with a private swim coach. It was then that I began to master the fine art of swimming—or truth be told, something more like controlled drowning.
I set my goal to train like hell—and the rest is history! Well… HERstory.
Because after my first race—Champions Indoor Triathlon—I was HOOKED!
One major problem. Okay, maybe two.
Indoor Triathlons weren’t held very frequently here in Central Texas. So, if I wanted to participate in an upcoming triathlon, I’d have to swim in a lake, cycle on an open road, and run on an outdoor course.
But… that meant I had to reveal my “other” secret…
I didn’t know how to ride a bike!
I was gifted a hybrid bike, and with my husband as my coach, I quickly learned how to crush it on two wheels—not without some badass “learning tattoos” from my many crashes and falls.
Then, I fell in love with cycling—and I’ve been addicted ever since!

Became A Unicorn
Since 2013, I’ve raced and participated in over 95+ Swim Bike Run events across a number of race formats—earning podium finishes, landing in the middle of the pack, and celebrating some epic rear finishes.
In my quest to #doepicshit, I've completed nearly all forms of multisport events: Indoor Triathlons, Duathlons, Splash & Dashes, Aqua-bikes, Aquathons, Super Sprint Tri's, Sprints, Olympic, Relay Teams, Intermediate Distance Triathlons—all the way up to Half-Ironman 70.3's.
As a Half-Ironman competitor, I began traveling for races and connecting with more female triathletes from around the world. But the farther I ran, the more I noticed my training circle shrinking—until I felt like the odd woman out.
Then an idea was born, because the endurance community was small—TOO small—and not diverse at all!
I was tired of being the only Black curvy female with an accent, with no one to party with at the finish lines... and I wondered WHY?
Why weren’t there more women like me in the endurance world—women of all shades, races, sizes, heights, faiths, and varying proclivities?
We could do it—I knew that for sure!
Putting Big Fun In Triathlons & Cycling
One day while shooting the breeze with the ladies in my Tri Tribe we realized that women weren’t attracted to this sport because of what they thought it represented.
Most women perceived endurance cyclists & triathletes as needing to be fast or super fit or having lots of extra cash to buy expensive equipment.
In other words… long distance cycling events & triathlons were such a scary and intimidating word for many women.
Newbies were overwhelmed with where to start (or even if they wanted to) and experienced triathletes were getting burned out and injured from over-the-top training and racing long courses.
So, the answer to all of these problems?
Make Cycling & Triathlons fun again!
And create an environment where women of ALL shapes, sizes, races, religions, orientations, abilities – you name it – would feel welcomed!
We wanted to shift the focus from being Fast & Furious - to being Friendships & Fun.

Our events feature exciting, short-distance race courses that are high-energy, beginner-friendly, and close to home—so you don’t need months of training to join in the fun.

That’s why we bring flair, enthusiasm, and inclusivity to everything we do.
All of our events are designed to welcome first-timers and beginners, while also giving seasoned triathletes a chance to rediscover the joy of racing.
As the Chief Funlete, my mission is to work alongside the SBR Fun Team to create a “Fit Party” atmosphere—full of good vibes, rockstar athletes in vibrant spandex, epic medals, dance-worthy finish lines, and smiles as big as our dreams.
