About This Event
The Hammerman Triathlon/Duathlon is TWENTY FIVE Years Old this year! With this benchmark, we are changing it up a bit!
This year the course will consist of a 500 yard lake swim, a 9 mile mt bike course and a 2.2 mile trail run. We will be offering a 1 lap of all Sprint event, along with a 2 laps of all Long event! The Team event will only be offered in the 2 laps Long course affair, and the Duathlon will be a Solo only 1 lap offering with a 1 mile opening run instead of the swim. The course is still very challenging, very hilly, with lots of single track and several technical sections. Only mountain bikes are to be used, no cyclo-cross bikes, hybrids or similar, no electric or motorized bikes and no drop bars are allowed. The 2 laps Solo affair is meant for the heartiest of souls with some solid experience in the dirt, and is only open to participants 18 years and older (without race director approval).
Meet at Little Campbell Lake
Little Campbell Lake is located near the west end of Raspberry Road, at the entrance to Kincaid Park. Turn right onto the dirt road just after the large rock sign at the park entrance and follow it to the end. Race day, there will be NO PARKING on the outbound side of the road.
Race start time is 10:00AM!
There are $5 discounts to current 2026 Alaska Triathlon Club members, and also to any active duty or retired military participants.
ATTENTION PLEASE! When you register, please provide a functioning email that you check often so you are sure to get any important information we need to share, along with info on our course previews! Thanks!

Three sports, one race — swim, bike, run in sequence, with transitions that are a discipline of their own.
Open water, open roads, and competition with yourself. Cross the finish line knowing what it took to get there.
Swim, bike, run — back to back. The sprint distance makes it far more accessible than most people think.
