River Trail Triathlon

This modified triathlon sports kayaking instead of swimming, a hybrid of paved and dirt trail biking, and a mix of trail and road running. Take on the challenge individually or compete with a team of two or three. The race is split into two distances -- Tri-Hard and Tri-Harder.

Tri-Hard
1-mile Kayak up and back down the Flat River 
7-mile Bike loop through King Milling, over Riverfront Park Pedestrian Bridge, and back
1.5-mile Run starting on the North Country Trail and looping around McMahon Park

Tri-Harder
2-mile Kayak up and down the Flat River
15-mile Bike loop up the Fred Meijer Flat River Trail, around Fallasburg Park, and back 
3.25-mile Run through the North Country Trail

All ages and experiences welcome! We are dedicated to making this a family-friendly event while also bolstering healthy competition. Participants are required to bring their own bike (the Tri-Hard route can be easily trekked with any type of bike, however, the Tri-Harder route travels over some dirt roads and gravel pathways, thus, a hybrid bike would most likely work best for this route) and are highly encouraged to supply their own kayak.
