Bringing a new Colorado Triathlon race experience to one of the most picturesque areas of Colorado. Triathleta Productions ~ Grand Lake is beginning a new standard for Colorado Triathlons. Epic terrain, inspiring views of mountains and lakes, brisk water swim, once in a lifetime bike and a run that just may make you stop for a photo op, if you have the energy. This is the first of many to come. Colorado marks the beginning!
EVENT OVERVIEW
The first Olympic and Half Distance Triathlons in the quaint Colorado town of Grand Lake. This will be a challenge of strength and endurance on a gorgeous course, with breath taking views of three pristine lakes, the majestic purple mountains that are the Rockies and Wildlife that live amongst the locals. It will quickly become your favorite race, for many reasons.
On August 16, 2014 triathletes will race in one of the Highest triathlons in the Country, if not the World. At 8400′+ This Colorado Triathlon is going to challenge each of its participants, and create lasting memories.
Swim in the largest natural body of water in Colorado! Grand Lake is one of three lakes nestled on the edge of the Rocky Mountain National Park. Water temps are cool, average in early August, (64+/- F) so bring your wetsuit!
Bike on Highway 34, or what is better known as Trail Ridge Rd., the longest, most continuous paved road in North America. A good portion of the road is closed 9 months out of the year. So biking on the road, aside from being in a triathlon, is a ‘claim to fame’ all its own. The views will take your breath away if the altitude doesn’t! 8400′+
Run up and along the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park and see, in person, what others have only seen in pictures. The views alone may make you want to stop, but don’t! You can go back after the race with your camera, it’ll still be there, I promise! Follow Trail Ridge Rd. back down to the county roads that wind through the quaint town, that is Grand Lake, and be ready for the roof top views you will see coming back down off the hills to town. It’s not only a challenging, high altitude race, but a race that is a feast for the eyes.
Grand Lake is a warm and welcoming lakeside community that offers ample opportunities for outdoor recreation in a climate that is one of Colorado‘s most appealing. Bring your friends, family, come with your Tri club, this will be not only a great place to race, but an experience you will remember for years.
Our goal at Triathleta is to maximize the enjoyment for everyone at the race! Whether you are competing, volunteering, or spectating we intend to make it a memorable experience. Sign up early, there is limited space. Get your spot in the race and at a lodge in town.
