Root River Triathlon
The triathlon kicks off with a picturesque paddle downstream on the Root River from Houston to Mound Prairie. Then hop on your bike for a road-ride back to Houston. Some hills “en route” are challenging and demand an extra effort. The race wraps up with a fairly level run, starting on the Root River trail and then through the streets of Houston. You will circle back and cross the finish line in Trailhead park.
