Participate in fun triathlon with the first segment either as kayaking or swimming, followed by trail biking and finishing with a trail run. The Adventure Tri will be held at Barkcamp State Park, in Belmont, Ohio. The adventure triathlon is supporting the work of the Underground Railroad Museum, in Flushing, Ohio.
Kayak 1,500 meters or Swim 500 meters, Bike 8 miles and finish with a 5K Trail Run.
All kayakers must provide their own kayak, a life jacket, and paddle. Swimmers should plan to bring goggles. Other swimming aids like floatation devices, belts or flippers are not allowed. The Kayak participants will start at 8:00am and the swim will start at 8:15am, allowing the kayakers to clear the swim course. There will be a water support team on the lake to monitor both the kayakers and swimmers. For the Bike segment, all participants must have a helmet with a strap. The course is on a hardpacked trail, but can be muddy with some elevation changes. The bike used should not be a road bike, but plan to use a trail/mountain type of bike that can handle off road conditions.
The top 2 male and female overall finishers in both races will receive an award.

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.
