PI TRI will take place exclusively on Presque Isle State Park. All segments of the triathlon - the swim, the bike and the run - will start, transition and finish at BEACH 10. The triathlon course design features a nearly complete and scenic tour of beautiful, historic Presque Isle State Park, one of 121 state parks within the state of Pennsylvania and is a National Natural Landmark for about four million visitors each year.
The sprint triathlon will consist of a swim in beautiful Lake Erie, a bike ride around the full peninsula, and a run along a portion of the paved trail.
