Get off of the couch of your Lake Stevens home and participate in or cheer on those participating in the 2016 Lake Stevens Triathlon. Carry on the joy of competition and physical fitness from the Olympic Games in Rio. This event will take place on Saturday, September 10, 2016 beginning at 8 a.m. BuDu Racing, LLC has pledged a portion of all entry fees to help support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, which conducts research to help treat and hopefully someday cure this devastating autoimmune disease.
Cheer on the Triathletes near Your Lake Stevens Home
Participants can choose from the Olympic or Sprint events that both start with the swim at North Cove Park. Olympic racers will swim 1 mile, bike 25 miles, and run 6.2 miles. Sprint racers will swim .25 miles, bike 9.8 miles, and run 3.2 miles. Those taking on the challenge of the race will get to appreciate the beautiful scenery along the back roads for the bike race and the shore of the lake for the run. Anyone wishing to register can still do so until 12:10 a.m. on September 9, 2016. This is a USA Triathlon sanctioned event, so non USA Triathlon members will have to pay extra for a one day license. Even if participating is not your idea of a fun time, come out anyway to enjoy the beautiful day and to cheer on those taking on the challenge. Introduce the triathlon to youth who call Lake Stevens home. Help them see what the human body is capable of. Find more information and register for the Lake Stevens Triathlon.
