You may drop-off racers or spectators at the end of the road and they can walk or bike in and then park at Pyramid and either bike back to Riverpoint Campground or ride the shuttle.

Awards Ceremony

We hope everyone stays for the awards ceremony where the winners stand on Olympic style boxes and get their medal. A great photo op moment.

Race Information

We have moved to a 3 second staggered start from the transition area starting at 9am. This has solved the congestion at the start of the race and since everyone is chipped there is no penalty for when you start.

The Duathlon running course is also mostly on a trail shaded with giant old growth Western Larch trees - 3 miles. The bike ride remains the same as the triathlon - 7.8 miles.

Kids Triathlon

The Kids Triathlon starts when most of the adults have completed the course so families can watch approximately 11am. The kids use the outside of the swimming area buoys as their course.

• Assistance: They can stop and hold on if they need to, and life vests are acceptable.
• Parental guidance: Parents may follow along INSIDE the buoys.
• Bike ride: First half of the adult run trail for ages 8 and under, entire adult run trail for ages 9-12.
