Category-redefining events to take place in Bend, Ore. on Sept. 20; Registration now open

 

Since its inception in 2011, Leadman Tri provides athletes with an ultra-distance event that places more emphasis on the low-impact cycle and swim stages, and less on the higher-impact run portion. Both professional and age group divisions are offered for all distances, along with a relay category.

 

Set for September 20, Leadman Tri Bend 250-kilometer features a course with a 5-kilometer swim in idyllic Lake Cultus, a 223-kilometer bike around dormant volcano Mount Bachelor, and a two-loop 22K running course around Tetherow Golf Course with a dramatic finish in NorthWest Crossing. The Leadman Tri Bend 125-kilometer course includes a 2.5-kilometer swim, 106-kilometer bike ride, and a 12-kilometer run. New this year is the Leadman 85 that will take place at Leadman Tri Bend. The new distance features a 1-kilometer swim, 75-kilometer bike and 8-kilometer run. Athletes who finish the race within the allotted time limit will receive the coveted Leadman Tri Belt Buckle.
