Scenic Mountain Triathlon

Join the state’s longest-running multi-sport tradition at the 41st Annual Scenic Mountain Triathlon, hosted in the spectacular Monongahela National Forest in Richwood, WV, on Sunday, July 12, 2026. This USAT-sanctioned event offers both Sprint and Olympic distance challenges, making it an ideal tune-up for Ironman athletes and a competitive add for serious triathletes. The course is thoughtfully designed to be challenging yet manageable, welcoming beginners who want to test their skills in a supportive, high-mountain environment. The race kicks off at 10:00 AM at Summit Lake, plunging participants into the swim, bike, and run legs through the heart of West Virginia's natural beauty. Teams of two or three people are highly encouraged to join, allowing friends, rivals, or colleagues to compete together in the stunning mountain setting. Packet pickup and late registration are available the day before, or race-day registration is open until 8:45 AM at Summit Lake for last-minute entrants.
