🏅 REGULAR SPRINT TRI:

🏃‍♂️ RUN

Heading east toward Peteetneet Road (600 E), runners will turn south to run up the canyon until they meet the police turnaround at about 1.5 miles. On their way back, runners will turn left one block earlier than the "out" road onto 800 south, and then one last right onto Main Street to come into T1.

The 5K ONLY runners will use the same 5K course, at the same time, leaving at 7 a.m. RUN ROUTE ON STRAVA.

🚴‍♂️ BIKE

Racers will leave the transition area on foot, mount their bicycles on the road, and will continue along an 11-mile route. Cycling through blooming cherry orchards and beautiful farms is what makes this relatively flat ride worth a try.

BIKE ROUTE ON STRAVA.

🏊‍♂️ Swim

After exiting T2, racers will make their way barefooted to the south east corner of the pool, coming in the side gate and entering the pool while watching out for other swimmers. Swimmers will “snake” up and back in each lane, staying to the RIGHT side of the lane, and then under the lane line (only on the south side of the pool) to repeat until they exit the pool after swimming in six lanes, equating to 300 yards.

👶 12 and UNDER SUPER-SPRINT TRI:

🏃 RUN:

Triathlete boys and girls will make their way around the ball fields for a mile run. Route will be marked by stickers and will be led by a High School Cross Country athlete. RUN ROUTE

🚲 BIKE:

The 2-mile route is a loop on quiet Payson City streets. Volunteers will help riders take left turns (2), and right turns will be marked. Route will also be led by a seasoned cyclist. BIKE ROUTE

🏊 SWIM:

Racers will snake up and down the pool for four lengths (100 yards). Life jackets are permitted.

⏱️ TIMING CHIP SYSTEM AWESOMENESS

RunnerCard will be providing our chip timing, and they do a phenomenal job. Shortly after you finish, you can pick up a print out of your time and ranking.

🎉 FINISH LINE/SPECTATOR AREA

While you’re exhausting yourself out on the course, your family and friends can enjoy a fun spectator area filled with vendors, kid’s activities, and music. When you cross that finish line, we’ll drape you in your finisher medal!

🏖️ EARLY ACCESS TO OPEN SWIM!

This year we're adding in four (4) free wristbands to Payson Pool's open swim with early entry at 9:00 a.m.! Triathletes and their families will enjoy the lazy river, large and small slides, and diving boards as soon as all racers have completed the triathlon.
