  • Details from event's Active.com listing:

    This is not your average triathlon. You or your relay team will have a scenic journey to the badlands while you kayak, run and bike through Glendive. Your journey will start at the Glendive Boat Ramp off of N. River Ave where you will kayak on the Yellowstone River for 8.3+ miles to the Kemp’s property (the area will be well marked).  Then you will run 3.4+ miles on rolliing dirt roads. Then you will get out to grab your bike and ride 12.37+ miles down Bell Prairie Road on gravel and through town to the finish at Eyer Park.  At the finish we will have a beer garden, food trucks, live enetertainment, and vendors to help you celebrate your journey to the badlands and replenish those calories you lost along the way.

    *Register before July 5th to get a shirt.
