Course & Venue

Registration Info

Please note: The race venue will be Lake Nokomis (not Lake Calhoun as originally planned). While many in Minneapolis were eager to see the race at Calhoun, traffic and other logistics proved too difficult. We thank the Minneapolis Park Board for looking so extensively into the option. Onward to Lake Nokomis which is a terrific venue with proven course options. We remain thrilled to bring the race home to Minneapolis. Join us on Minneapolis' beautiful lakes, parkways and river road!

The Swim
500 yards starting and finishing on Lake Nokomis' main beach.

Wetsuits will be allowed (and encouraged) per USAT rules and regulations. All swimmers will be given a swim cap they must wear during the swim leg of the triathlon. Learn more about our Buddy Waves, Novice Swim Caps and Noodle Swimmers in the Beginners section.

Beautiful Bike Course

The Bike
The bike course will be 12-14 miles on scenic Minnehaha Parkway and River Road.

The Run
The run will be a 5K run on the path around Lake Nokomis.

Athlete Quote:

I can't believe how well run and energizing the event was. Everything flowed as though you'd done it 10 times in the past. I loved the way the swimmers started, how the transition area was organized, the great orange finish line - everything was so inspirational and exciting. So next year I plan on being one of the first to sign up and I've already recruited at least 6 other women who are now looking forward to their first triathlon. Again, great job on putting together an event I'll remember all my life. I feel more energized and fit than I have in 15 years. I'm wearing my necklace with pride!
