For the adult relay you will have two options; the first is a 3 person relay, $50 each participant. Or a 2 person relay, $50 each. You will be able to join a team or create a new one. There is not a team option for the kids triathlon. Kids triathlon: For the kids triathlon we will have a Short Course and a Long Course. Short course 1 lap swim. <2 mile bike ride. <1 mile run. Long Course 2 lap swim. <2 mile bike ride. <1 mile run. Kids will also have the option to start their swim on the water slide, however, their overall triathlon time won’t begin until they hit the water at the bottom of the slide. The bike course will be mostly gravel. Please have your kids plan accordingly. The run will be the same course as last year, except backwards. Therefore, they won’t be running up that big hill towards the end, they will instead be running down it. Please check our Facebook page for a picture of the route. For those of you that are familiar with the NPRSA trails, it is Illiamna Loop. Please visit our Facebook page for more information and updates on the course.
