ALMAGEDDON Winter Triathlon presented by the Alma Foundation

About the Event

Going into its second year, ALMAGeddon is the kind of race where athletes need to be ready for anything. Starting at 10,600 feet in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, you never quite know what Old Man Winter has in store. Snow? Wind? Bluebird skies? A little bit of everything? That's all part of the adventure.

While we can't guarantee the exact distances or even the disciplines, we can guarantee an unforgettable grassroots race experience. Expect a small field where everyone knows your name, genuine small-town hospitality, epic mountain scenery, and a warm, delicious post-race meal courtesy of our legendary One Pot Cook-Off Challenge.

Registration is limited to just 75 athletes, so don't wait. Secure your spot now and join us for one of the most unique winter endurance events you'll ever experience.
