The BISMAN Triathlon in Bismarck, North Dakota, features a 750-meter swim, a 20-kilometer bike ride, and a 5K run or dance option to finish. This USA Triathlon sanctioned sprint-distance race takes place in June and serves as the High School and Age Group State Championship for North and South Dakota.
The race organizers describe the course as fast, safe, and well-marked, making it suitable for both new triathletes and those competing for a state title. A Tri 101 clinic is offered to help first-time participants prepare before race weekend. The event includes participants of all ages, allowing high school racers, age-group competitors, and beginners to compete together.
