NOTE: General entry is now sold out (for the 4th straight year). A limited number of "community charity slots" are available.

Come be a part of the Hopkins Royal Triathlon held at beautiful Shady Oak Beach, on the border of Hopkins/Minnetonka, MN.  Compete in a traditional sprint distance, or for those newer to the sport or who have limitations, try our shorter mini-sprint distance. Either way, you'll be treated like royalty!

Why try this TRI?
  • The race courses are awesome! Challenging for experienced triathletes, but easily doable for all.
  • The awards & prizes are even better- bottle "trophies", functional finisher medals and cool wick-away t-shirts
  • Great location-just 10 miles west of Mpls, plenty of free parking, nearby hotels, and wonderful views for spectators.
  • Enjoy a post race meal for everyone- No need to sneak food for your fans.  They're invited too!
  • We offer a mini-sprint option where you get to pick the distances-You read it correctly!  Do the minimum 100 yard swim-4.5 mile bike-1.75 mile run, or try some of the longer distances.  Some call it a "glorified kids triathlon".  We call it an opportunity for everyone to be able to TRI!  Think of it as a multi-sport "buffet", where you get to decide how much you want to "put on your plate" come race day.  *Click here for more info.
