Description
The Coeur d'Alene Triathlon and Duathlon has been one of the most scenic races in the Northwest since 1984, hence the nickname, "The Scenic Challenge." This year marks the 34th anniversary of the race which will be held Saturday, August 12, 2017
The Sprint Distance Triathlon that was recently added was a huge success! We're going to keep it, and as before, it will take off right after the Olympic race begins. The Sprint consists of a 500-yard swim, a 13-mile bike ride, and a 3.1-mile (5K) run. The sprint course will have women and men-specific wave starts to give novice triathletes a sense of confidence and safety.
The traditional Olympic distance (1.5K swim) and the Sprint distance (500 yards swim) both take place at Independence Point on Lake Coeur d'Alene. All the bike courses follow Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive. For Olympic distance triathlon riders and Duathlon riders going the full 40K, the race leads to Mullan Trail Road for a challenging uphill course.
The course ends at the finish line in Coeur d'Alene City Park at the Triathlon Village adjacent to Lake Coeur d'Alene.
