Swan Lake Resort & Campground is honored to host a gnarly race through the beautiful waters, formidable hills, and rugged trails of Minnesota lakes country. Our intent is to organize a safe and rewarding race experience for everyone.
Triathlon Race Segments
Individual and Relay teams will complete:
All Grit, No Chip
This triathlon will be timed manually and casually. We plan to acknowlede Men's & Women's podium finishers, but don't expect to receive detailed time reports. If you are concerned with knowing your splits, plan to time them on your own with a device or friend. Speaking of time, the course is designed to be tough, so don’t expect to move at “pavement pace”.
Schedule of Events
Safety & Medical Services
Out of an abundance for caution, we've asked the OTC Sherrif's Water Patrol team to support athletes during the swim segment. On land, we've contracted with Ringdahl Emergency Medical Services for an ambulance and trained technician. In addition, we'll have several trained volunteers from Dalton Fire & Rescue to support on both land and water.
Relay Captains
The captains of triathlon teams should register 1st, pick a team name, pay the full registration fee, and invite any remaining teammates.
USA Triathlon
Note that registration requires a USA Triathlon membership ID, which helps us organize a safe event and cover the cost of event insurance. A single-race membership is free for kids, $9 for relay athletes, and $14 for individuals. It’s all integrated into the registration flow to minimize hassle.
Kids Duathlon Bike-n-Run Race
The kids race will be a short gravel bike loop followed by a mini run on the resort & campground roads. The entire course is on property for kids to remain visible at all times. It'll be a casual, fun race for ages 2 through 12 and parents are welcome to assist the little ones.
We look forward to hosting an awesome event on our little slice of heaven. Whether you’re racing or watching, we hope you leave feeling inspired and appreciative of what the human body is capable of.
Onward,
Swan Lake Resort & Campground
