From the Organizer
The River to Ridge Triathlon is not your typical triathlon. There’s no pool, no road bike, no wetsuit-optional debate. There’s a river, a trail, and a ridge — and you’re going to earn all three.
Set entirely within the Shenandoah River State Park, this off-road tri sends athletes down the South Fork of the Shenandoah by kayak, then back along the river trail on foot, then up into the amazing single track on mountain bike. With a spring and fall edition you can enjoy the best two seasons. Three disciplines. Three completely different landscapes. One unforgettable day.
The course is designed around the natural geography of the state park: paddle the river with the current, run the trail between the water and the forest, then ride the trails. In spring enjoy fresh buds, blue bells, and nature immerging for a winter rest. In fall the October canopy puts on its full show. Whether you’re a triathlete looking for something wilder than pavement, an adventure racer, or simply someone who wants to experience this valley on its own terms, this event was built for you.
Total Distance: ~15.5 miles
- Kayak/canoe: 3.3 miles
- rail Run: 3.2 miles
- Mountain Bike: 9.0 miles
Come for the race. Stay for the river. Make a weekend of it.
Included:

- Kayak, PFD, and paddle rental (Must use provided boats)

Teams, paddle with a buddy and then do your own thing on the run and bike. Combined times determine final ranking.
