From the Organizer
The Bear Lake Brawl Triathlon is held at Bear Lake State Park (Idaho) on the Idaho side and East side of Bear Lake. Bear Lake is often called the Caribbean of the Rockies due to its incredibly blue water set in high in the mountains. This race has four distances.
Half 70 1/3 Distance Long - Swim 1.2 Miles, Bike 56 Miles, Run 13.1 Miles
Olympic Distance Intermediate - Swim 1500 Meters, Bike 24.8 Miles, Run 6.2 Miles
Sprint Distance Short - Swim 750 Meters, Bike 12.4 Miles, Run 3.1 Miles
(Full 140 2/3 Distance is not renewed for 2026. This distance causes us to have an extremely long day finishing the last racer around Midnight. We have to start as early as 7AM and this causes issues with set up and the sun only rises around 6:45AM. After 8 years of trying to grow this distance we have decided to not renew it for all the stress and lack of participation with around 30 to 40 racers. We are sorry it is not back)
