Southern Utah Triathlon 2026

The Southern Utah Triathlon takes place at Quail Creek Reservoir in Hurricane, Utah, a short drive from St. George and near Sand Hollow Reservoir. This fall event offers sprint, Olympic, relay, and virtual race formats. Athletes can compete individually, form a two- or three-person team to share the race, or finish the virtual option independently. The timing contributes to its appeal: both air and water temperatures typically hover around 70 degrees, providing a comfortable setting for a desert race. The venue is part of the Sand Hollow State Park system, offering participants open reservoir swimming, red-rock scenery, and vistas towards the St. George area. The sprint course serves as the foundation, with the Olympic race employing an F1 format. This means athletes will complete the sprint-distance course twice instead of navigating a single, longer loop. The race organizers emphasize that the course presents a challenge, making it suitable for those seeking a demanding yet fair Southern Utah triathlon, rather than a simple, flat course.
