Reverse-order Sprint Triathlon

What I love about this race:
Who can say they finished a triathlon with a ride down a 300-foot long waterslide?! Those who sign up for this race can! We love this reverse-order triathlon, a perfect race for first-time triathletes and kids! All racers begin at the same time with a challenging 5k run 100% on asphalt, followed by a 8-mile bike ride, a 300-yard swim (which anyone is welcome to use a lifejacket!), and a run up the ramp to grab a mat and slide down "Avalanche" to the finish line. Not only do you get to participate in a triathlon at a super fun venue, free photos, an awesome finisher medal, and other swag, but participants will also receive two free passes (a $43.98 value) to Splash Summit Water Park to use in 2026 with each individual registration! (passes are emailed out every two weeks while registration is open). We also offer a 12 and under kids super-sprint triathlon that is half as long! We will also be offering a 5K walk/run.

DISTANCE
5K run (3.1 miles), 8-mile bike ride, 300-yard swim, 300-foot waterslide finish
KID'S TRI DISTANCE: 1.5 mile run, 4-mile bike, 150-yard swim, 300-foot waterslide finish

RACE START
All racers will begin at the starting line for the run, with the gun starting at 7:00 a.m. After running for 3.1 miles, racers will then transition within the park and exit on their bikes. Following a two-loop, 8-mile bike ride, racers will come back into the transition area, leave their bikes, run up the sidewalk to the wave pool, and jump into the pool for 300 yards to swim, and then run up the ramp to finish on "Avalanche", a 300-foot waterslide to the finish line. 

KID'S TRIATHLON
New to the race this year - our half-sprint-distance triathlon is for those 7-12 years old who would like to also run in the race! Instead of two laps on the run and two laps on the bike, the kid's triathlon is one lap of each, and half the distance in the pool! The kid's tri will start after the sprint tri runners finish their first loop so the kids aren't running and biking alone. If parents want to race alongside their kids, they must purchase a kid's triathlon registration as well, and won't be in the running for awards.
