AUGUST 4th, 2018
The XTERRA Aspen Valley Triathlon features a 1200 meter swim in a private ski lake (water temperature 75 degrees), a 12 mile or 6 mile mountain bike (2 options), and a 3 mile Trail Run. The entire event is located on private property in El Jebel, Colorado (just outside Aspen)!
When you register you'll be asked to rank your mountain bike ability on a scale of 1-4 (1 being "expert" and 4 being "beginner"), then we'll ask for your estimated 1/2 mile long swim time. When registration closes what we'll do is set up 10 swim waves that are based on having the fastest mountain bikers hit the trail system first. This will help ease congestion and passing on the 2nd lap of the course for a positive race experience for all!
REGISTRATION INFO
This event is limited to 350 competitors; please register early to take advantage of the discounted pricing as we've sold out in 2009-2017!
