The XTERRA Lory Triathlon features a 1/2 mile swim (or stand-up paddle-board option) in the cool waters of Horsetooth Reservoir, a two-lap single track course on the beginner friendly mountain bike trails inside Lory State Park, and finishes with a 5 mile run that can be described as challenging but extremely rewarding! Oh and did we mention the 25ft long Slip n' Slide waiting to cool you off at the finish line?!?!
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!
