ABOUT THIS EVENT
Kirkland's
Triathlon at Carillon Point made its phenomenal debut
in September of 2002. A field of over 1300 athletes
made it one of the largest first-year sprint triathlons
in U.S. history. Set in the city of Kirkland, just across
Lake Washington from Seattle, this year's race is expected
to sell out once again so REGISTER EARLY!
Kirkland's
Triathlon at Carillon Point is perfect for both novice
and veteran triathletes. Due to late arrival of our
summers here in the Pacific Northwest, this mid-September
weekend should be perfect for racing!
