Description

Come to Helena and swim in a spring-fed man-made lake. Road bike on two lane roads.  There will be sheriffs out there for your safety.  Run a flat fast course on trail. Enjoy wonderful people and beautiful scenery. Aqua-bike and duathlon sprint distance offered. Also new this year - 5K fun run/walk.

VIRTUAL OPTION AVAILABLE - $50 any race/distance except the Fun Run.  Receive a medal.  T-shirt available until May 31. click "View All Events"

Everyone registered for the triathlon, duathlon or aqua-bike will receive a post-race meal, shirt, finishers medal and a chance at prizes. 

The Fun Run is an economical race organized as a fundraiser.  All 5K participants will receive a finishers medal. 

The post-race meal will be available for $5 and is open to all.  The post-race meal is a fundraiser for the Helena Dragon Boat team, who generously provides many volunteers for the race.

All net proceeds go to charity.  Example:  $2,000 has been donated to the Prickly Pear Land Trust and smaller amounts to Girls Thrive and other local athletic non-profits. In 2021, we donated $500 to the Helena Food Share and $200 to the Helena Dragon Boat team, who provided swim volunteers. 

This race is part of the Montana Kids race series!  New kids bike course on the Ten Mile trails.
