The lay of the land
The aquabike race calendar in Iowa is busiest in June, May, and August, with races most often in Ames, Council Bluffs, and Des Moines.
An aquabike is a triathlon without the run: an open-water swim straight into the bike, with a single transition in between — and you finish on two wheels. Instead of racking the bike and running, you cross the line on your bike.
It’s offered at a range of distances, most commonly Sprint and Olympic, and usually shares a venue and course with a triathlon the same day. For swimmers and cyclists — or anyone racing around a running injury — it’s a way into multisport without the run.
