From the Organizer
Get ready for Michigan’s (and we think the Country’s) ONLY triathlon with a water slide start. The race will take place at the picturesque Lake Arvesta Farms Sports Complex in South Haven, MI. South Haven Triathlon athletes will start the race by going down one of three 240′ water slides. After the swim, participants will ride a fully closed bike course followed by a beautiful flat run on the grounds of Lake Arvesta Farms.

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.
