The full-distance race is a formidable challenge, combining a 1.5K swim with a 36K mountain bike and 10K trail run, and every year the best off-roaders in the U.S. fill the start list making the competition even tougher.
There’s also a sprint race, aquabike option, and 5K and 10K trail runs on the schedule and even if you don’t race - a visit to Incline Village alone is a worthy adventure.
