Swan Lake Grit-N-Gravel Triathlon 2026

Race through waters, hills, and trails. Depart from a sandy beach into Swan Lake for a swim around marked buoys, with typical August water temperatures around 70°F. The bike route features 60% hilly gravel roads and 40% flat pavement on the Central Lakes Trail, totaling over 1,000 feet of elevation gain. Expect a demanding gravel section. The run course starts on hiking trails, then hits a gravel road leading to elevation at Ugly Duckling Lodge, offering scenic views of Swan Lake along its trail system. It's a mix of gravel road, prairie trail, and wooded paths. It's 'All Grit, No Chip' – timed manually.
