To comply with the governing body, this means that every participant that registers will automatically be in the mini-sprint category.  Rest assured that those that want to can still do the longer distances for each segment as we have always offered and allowed. However, since there are numerous combinations that people can choose from, we have no way of knowing who did what distances. So there will NOT be any Age Group awards or Clydesdale/Athena categories this year, but we will do LOTS of door prizes including giving away 10 spots to KONA*
For each segment, you will have 3 options; (on race day) choose ​one from each column:
Column A
SWIM
750 yards
250 yards
​100 yards
Column B
​BIKE
12 miles (3 loops)
8 miles (2 loops)
4 miles (1 loop)
Column C
​RUN
5K
​2.5K
​0.01K (walk to finish line)
*by Kona, we mean the restaurant, NOT that other Kona :)
Why try this TRI?
  • The race courses are awesome! (challenging for the experienced but doable for all)
  • We are very inclusive and welcoming to the sport, especially "newbies"
  • We give out fun awards & prizes 
  • Great location-just 10 miles west of Mpls, 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 mile bike-1.7 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.
  • We offer "Swim Angels"-Swimming not your thing?  On race day, we will have "swim angels" (an experienced swimmer that will stay by your side and keep you on course during the swim portion) *Click here for more info.
  • Proceeds go to charity:  $75,000+ in our first 9 years to the local rec dept. and the youth groups that volunteer at the event.
  • We were named the "Race of the Year" in 2015 & 2018. We have sold out every year, so don't wait too long to register! (Registration opens on January 1st each year...and usually fills by the end of July)
