Possible Triathlon Debut Races

Possible Triathlon Debut Races

Winding Trails Tri-Training Series
The weekly triathlon series will run on Tuesday evenings at Winding Trails. This year’s series will consist of a 1/4-mile swim or kayak in Dunning Lake, a 8k trail ride (you must use a hybrid or off-road bike for the biking portion of the race), and a 5K-trail run through our beautiful woods. All ability levels are encouraged to come out and train in this friendly and fun environment.

Terramuggus Sprint Triathlon Series (Bi-weekly June-August Thursday Nights)
The race starts with a 400yard splash in Lake Terramuggus, followed by a 12 mile ride through scenic Marlborough and finishes with a 3,2 mile run around the lake. This event draws a myriad of athletes from the first timer to the Ironman. Located in Blish park, it's a great loaction and a fun place to bring the family to be spectators, go swimming or play at the awesome playground!
