2010 Black Butte Triathlon:


  • The Black Butte Lake Triathlon Series is one of the best weekends for outdoor enthusiasts on all of the West Coast.
  • Situated right in the heart of Tehama County, Black Butte Lake is one of the most scenic lakes scattered around the Northern California.
  • Hosted annually on the second weekend of April (the weekend after the Easter Holiday) it provides a great race for long time tri-geeks or for first-time newbies to test their legs for the upcoming triathlon season.
  • The weekend is split into two separate races: a Sprint Distance Triathlon on Saturday and an Olympic Distance Triathlon on Sunday. But the fun does not stop there! There will be a Health and Fitness Expo to see the latest and greatest gadgets as well as local vendors from the surrounding area showcasing their all-natural goods.
  • Tehama County boasts a wide array of produce from fruit to nuts, olives and olive oil to an up and coming wine country.
  • Course Information:

    Swim 800 Meters:
  • The glassy water of Black Butte Lake provides fast splits in and out of Buckhorn Boat Dock. The swim length will be a simple out and back from the dock providing a wonderful spectator show.
  • There will also be lifeguards providing water safety along the swim course.

    Bike 15 Miles:
  • After a quick transition out of the swim, the bike course offers a mellow ride out of the campgrounds. Take in the beautiful scenery as you whip through the quick out and back bike course.
  • The course will exit the campgrounds and go east on Newville Road. The riders will make a left on to Black Butte Road heading North. Once the riders accelerate through some quick rollers they will be cruising along a super wide road to the turn around.
  • The quick ride back to the campgrounds will allow riders to make up lost ground!

    Run 3.1 Miles:
  • All of this madness wraps up on a looped trail run through the rolling green hills of the campground. After running through the sprawling green fields, you will begin your descent to the lake for a flat, fast, dockside finish.
