About this race
The Splash Summit Triathlon, held at Splash Summit Water Park in Provo, Utah, is a reverse-order sprint triathlon that starts in late summer. Racers begin with a 5K run on asphalt, followed by an 8-mile bike ride and a 300-yard swim. The race concludes by heading up the ramp for a finish down the 300-foot Avalanche waterslide.
The event is designed for newer triathletes, families, and kids, as well as experienced racers. Lifejackets are permitted during the swim, and participants can register starting at age 7. A team relay is available, along with a 5K walk/run for those who wish to bypass the bike and swim segments. Additionally, there is a 12-and-under super-sprint featuring a 1.5-mile run, a 4-mile bike ride, and a 150-yard swim. Finishers receive a medal, complimentary photos, a T-shirt, and water park passes. Awards are presented to the top overall male and female finishers and to age-group competitors. The event is also included in the Utah County TRIfecta bundle, which comprises other local triathlons.
