Triathlon returns to Evergreen on July 15, 2012 with the Ultimate Direction Evergreen Sprint Triathlon. This is the event everyone has been waiting for - a beautiful foothills course with a brisk lake swim, spectacular road bike ride, and a scenic trail run! All just 20 minutes from Denver!!!

Evergreen Lake has not seen a triathlon since the 90's when the Evergreen High Country Triathlon challenged athletes from around the country. This race is not to be missed!

Our Title Sponsor is Ultimate Direction, and the top-3 winners in every age group will take home Ultimate Direction merchandise!

GENERAL INFORMATION

COURSE:The Ultimate Direction Evergreen Sprint Triathlon is one of the most scenic and exciting courses on the Front Range. From the brisk swim in scenic Evergreen Lake, to the challenging 12 mile bike course on beautiful foothills roadways, to the trail run in the hills above Evergreen Lake. This is a race you'll want to do year after year!

750 Meter Swim: The Evergreen Triathlon swim follows a counter-clockwise loop in scenic Evergreen Lake. Even in mid-July, the lake will be chilly with temps expected to be in the low 60's. Our permit restrictions require that all participants wear a wetsuit in this event.

12 Mile Bike Course: The 12 mile ride follows well maintained paved roadways alongside Bear Creek, then climbs up Witter Gulch and Stagecoach. The final five miles of the course is a very fun rolling descent including an auto lane that is totally closed to motor vehicles for the final two miles.

5K Run Course: The run course will follow trails above Evergreen Lake, with a finish at the beautiful Evergreen Lake House.

DIRECTIONS:The race will be staged at the Evergreen Lake House on Evergreen Lake. There will be no participant or spectator parking at the Lake House, as transition will take up the entire parking lot. We are currently finalizing a parking plan close to the lake.

POST-RACE FUN - RESULTS - AWARDS

We'll have plenty of good food in the finish line area to fill your belly, including breakfast burritos from El Senor Sol mexican restaurant! And hopefully you'll also be one of the lucky participants who walks away with some sponsor schwag in our post race drawing.


RESULTS: Race results will be posted on-site throughout the race, and on this website on the afternoon of the race. Participants must wear their timing chip and cross the timing mat at the finish line in order to receive an official time. All timing chips must be returned at the finish line to avoid a lost chip charge. Results will only be edited (for mispelled names, etc.) for two weeks following the event.
