Description
From an Alpine start of 8400 feet to a Canyonlands finish of 5400 feet, a more than 3,000 ft. descent, this 42 mile unique triathlon challenges both individuals and teams.
1) Cross Country Ski - 4 Miles
(ski groomed for skating)
2) Road Bike - 32 Miles
3) Run - 6 Miles

Triathletes come from throughout the four corners to test their skills and endurance against other competitors who have trained for months for this competition. There are many others who are competing against themselves and gain the satisfaction of completing the 42 mile trial. Three member teams are also a popular alternative and attract many people to one of the first endurance events of the year.
This event is unique in respect to most other triathlons. It starts off by replacing the traditional swimming event with a four mile cross country ski starting at an elevation of approximately 8400 feet. After the cross country skiing event the triathlon becomes more traditional as the participants bike for 32 miles and then finish with a six mile run.
