ABOUT THE EVENT
The Blue Lake Sprint Triathlon was added to the Blue Lake Triathlon back in 1995 to help encourage new participants within the sport of Triathlon. Over the years this event has grown to include not only the novice triathlete, but also a large number of seasoned veterans that makes this event as competeative as the Olympic Distance event held on Sunday.

The Tri-iT (Novice) triathlon was added in 2003. This event is designed for the first timer, and/or for those that do not care about awards and want to participant with someone in a different division (i.e. father and son). Tri-iT participants will be timed, but will not be included in the awards. The swim portion of the Tri-iT event is a ¼ mile swim instead of the ½ mile Sprint distance.

And for those who do not swim, but want to take part in the Multi-Sport craze, there is the Sprint Duathlon. While the triathletes are swimming you will begin with a 5k run, then finish your event by competing on the same bike and run courses as the triathletes.
