Here is an overview of our events!
​
DRAFT-LEGAL SPRINT
Distance: 750m open-water swim, 20km bike, and 5km run.
Draft-Legal is a highly competitive race format for experienced triathletes. Drafting is allowed in the bike portion. Because of the increased danger from drafting, competitors must have experience riding in packs and excellent bike handling skills.
​
CLASSIC SPRINT / CLASSIC SPRINT RELAY
Distance: 750m open-water swim, 20km bike, and 5km run.
This is our most beginner-friendly and popular event. Drafting on the bike is not allowed.
Relay Teams will race the same classic sprint course but have the option of dividing the race between 2 or 3 people. This category is not gender-restricted. If you aren't ready to race a full triathlon, grab a friend or two to share the fun with you!
​
MIXED TEAM RELAY
Each relay team consists of 4 athletes (2 male + 2 female), 4 super sprint triathlons! Each athlete will have to swim for 250, cycle for 5km, and run for 1km before tapping the hand of their teammate to pass the relay. Collegiate athletes - the best way to get ready for Nationals is to race MTR at Bearathlon!
​
5K RUN
This year we are introducing a 5k run along the sprint triathlon run course. This is family-friendly and open to all ages! We hope to see many of you running down!
