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!

From Endurance Grid
This race spans more than one sport — here’s a guide to each, so you can understand what’s involved and decide if it’s the right fit. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think. Three sports in one race means three movements to train and race day never gets monotonous.
A swim followed by a bike — a triathlon without the run. Sprint and Olympic distances, often alongside a tri at the same venue.
