The Race Montana Triathlon and Duathlon, held at Electric City Water Park in Great Falls, Montana, is a pool-start multisport event. The adult sprint triathlon begins early. The main triathlon features a 500-meter swim in a 50-meter pool, followed by a 12.2-mile bike leg and a 3.1-mile run. This local event, now in its 18th year, offers multiple entry options: adult individuals, sprint teams, youth racers, and a duathlon for those who prefer to omit the swim.
The sprint bike course is largely manageable, though not entirely flat. The initial 5 miles and final 6 miles are relatively level, with mile 6 featuring a steady climb to the turnaround. The run is fast and flat, providing a manageable finish after the bike's incline. The duathlon commences from the bike transition area with a flat 1-mile run, followed by either the full 12.2-mile bike with a 3.1-mile run or a shorter 3-mile bike with a 1-mile run. Youth events are also included, with a long course comprising a 100-meter swim, 3-mile bike, and 1-mile run, and a short course for younger children consisting of a 50-meter swim, 1-mile bike, and a half-mile run.
