USA Triathlon Sanctioning

Our races are USA Triathlon Sanctioned and so all participants must have a valid USA Triathlon license (annual or one-day pass) to participate. The event price reflects the cost for USA Triathlon Annual Members. If you are not a USA Triathlon annual member you must purchase a one-day membership for this event with your registration for a cost of $15. Youth 17 and under can purchase an annual membership for $10 with registration. All race fees collected are non-refundable. Race pricing does not include online processing fee. If you have a USA Triathlon membership, please be sure your membership is current, and the name on your membership card exactly matches the name your enter in the registration portal. The registration system requires an exact match to validate your current USA Triathlon membership. Please contact us with any questions. 

Why do triathlons cost so much?

A triathlon costs 3 times that of a running race because there are 3 different disciplines (swim, bike & run) in the same event. This means you need 3 times the supplies, staff, volunteers, contractors, emergency medical & law enforcement personnel. Additionally, we purchase the highest quality food, shirts, happy finish towels, photographer & videographer & finisher medals and prizes to make your race experience top-notch. So the money you invest in this experience goes to making your race day exceptional!

Pricing Increases: Register Early and Save $$$ 

Prices go up each season, because the cost of goods and services are also going up. Specifically, our law enforcement personnel have raised their prices significantly and so it costs more to host a race. Additionally, we have struggled to secure race day volunteers, guards and staff. So we have had to increase our race day pay to attract the folks we need to serve you. We apologize for the price increases, but these reflect the actual costs for us to bring you this great event.

NOTE: To be guaranteed a performance t-shirt you must register at least two weeks before the event.
