The sprint distance triathlon provides a challenging course, just a smaller version of the full course. It is a lake swim with a beach start. The bike course will be within the Trowbridge Forest providing challenging terrain that utilizes the mesa rock formations that were once islands in a massive inland sea a millennia ago. The run will make use of the of a network of dozens of kilometers of trails that local runners have used for decades finishing in Kinsman Park. The full distance triathlon relay will give more people a chance to experience the event without having to master the art of a triathlon. So, make friends with a swimmer and come out and enjoy the event!

NOTE: This event has separate T1 & T2. Transition #1 is at Boulevard Lake. Transition #2 is at Kinsmen Park
