From the Organizer

Welcome to the Twin Lakes Triathlon! The day will feature two races - The Sprint Triathlon and The Super Sprint Triathlon. 

General Information

Triathlon Check-in Information

  • Day of Check-in begins at 6am at Twin Lakes Bible Camp on the Gathering Place Porch. After checking in, getting marked, and getting their chip, participants may enter the transition area to set up equipment. Participants must retrieve all equipment from the transition area following the race. Security personnel will monitor the transition area from 6 a.m. until all equipment has been claimed. Only numbered athletes will be allowed to enter the transition area.
  • Packet pickup will be the evening before the race from 6-8pm at Twin Lakes Bible Camp in the Gathering Place. This will be the last opportunity to register as there is no same-day registration. Cost to register in-person the night before is $80 for individuals and $130 for teams.
  • Packets can also be picked up the morning of the race at Check-in starting at 6am.

Triathlon Race Information

  • Opening Ceremonies will begin at 7:15 am at Twin Lakes Bible Camp. Swimmers starting the sprint, team, and super sprint triathlons will be released in waves beginning at 7:30 am at the Twin Lakes Bible Camp.
  • Twin Lakes Bible Camp provides breakfast for all participants; others may eat with a donation.
  • An award ceremony will be held approximately 20 minutes after the final athlete crosses the finish line. Awards will be presented to the top three overall winners, both male and female, for the Triathlon Individual races, as well as for the top Team Triathlon (overall winners are disqualified from winning their respective age brackets). Medals will be awarded to the winner of each age bracket in the individual events.
