Wildcat Lake Triathlon 2026

The Wildcat Lake Triathlon, sanctioned by USAT, takes place at Wildcat Lake County Park in Bremerton, Washington, on the Kitsap Peninsula. It is typically held in July, a time when the lake water is more suitable for swimming and the Peninsula often experiences drier weather for the race. The event provides Sprint, Super Sprint, and Relay categories. The Super Sprint consists of a 0.3-mile swim, a 16-mile bike course, and a 4-mile run. The swim portion occurs in Wildcat Lake. The cycling leg follows rolling roads on the Kitsap Peninsula, and the run concludes near the lake. The race's participant numbers are typically lower than those at events near Hood Canal or on the Olympic Peninsula, which aids in managing the capacity of the park venue. This race appeals to athletes in the Kitsap area seeking a local triathlon option without the need to travel to Seabeck or deeper into the Olympic Peninsula. Sammamish Running is the organizer, and a discount code of "wildcat" has been used for registration.
