Bonney Lake is back! Bonney Lake Tri Joins the RTB Summer Series!
The 2026 season just got a whole lot bigger. Raise the Bar is excited to announce that the Bonney Lake Triathlon is officially back on the calendar and joining our race portfolio as the definitive season closer! We’re bringing the signature RTB energy, high-level race promotion, and community-driven atmosphere to Allan Yorke Park. This is the race where you set your final PR, celebrate a summer of hard work, and close out the year with the strongest multi-sport community in the Northwest.
Complete the Journey: The Trident
For those who want to turn a season of training into a legacy, we are introducing the Trident. This isn’t a standard medal—it’s a custom-crafted, heavy-duty award designed to recognize the athletes who go the distance with us all summer long.
To claim the trophy, you must step up and finish all three iconic races in the 2026 RTB series:
1. Black Diamond Triathlon (The Opener)
2. Lake Meridian Triathlon (The Mid-Summer Classic)
3. Bonney Lake Triathlon (The Grand Finale)
When you cross that final finish line at Bonney Lake, you’ll be awarded the Trifecta Trident—the ultimate physical symbol of your grit and consistency across the entire season.
Why Bonney Lake is the Ultimate Season Ender
The Return of a Favorite: We’re revitalizing this classic course with the RTB standard of excellence. Expect a seamless athlete experience from the moment you pick up your packet to the final celebration.
A Pristine Course: Dive into the clear waters of Lake Tapps, cycle through the rolling farmlands of Pierce County, and finish with a run in the foothills under the gaze of Mount Rainier.
The RTB Vibe: This is our season finale. We’re turning up the energy at the finish line to make sure your 2026 season ends with the celebration it deserves.
One Season. Three Races. One Legendary Trophy.
The bar has been raised for the finale. Secure your spot at Bonney Lake and start your path toward the Trifecta Trident today!
