The 8th annual Oktoberfest Triathlon is the party of the year, championship to the Colorado Triathlon Tour, and 2015 Rocky Mountain Collegiate Conference Race (NEW Draft Legal Collegiate/Jr Elite Wave in 2015!)!  This race, the 5th stop on the Colorado Tour, will officially end the Colorado Triathlon Season!  It's been a long fun season but before the leaves change and the snow begins to fall let's get one more triathlon celebration in.  

 

The Oktoberfest Triathlon is about friends and teammates, smiling and cheering.  Men's or woman's cut technical t-shirts are back.  Great goodie bags, one of our biggest expos of the year, a ton of raffles, and a closed race course are just some of the highlights.  This race is capped at 500 athletes to maintain a fun, yet lively, and laid back feel.  Due to the low cap we've sold out the past 6 years so be be sure to take advantage of early registration.  Every year we pick a different Lander (province) in Germany as a theme for the event t-shirts!  2013 T-Shirt Theme was Baden-Wurttemberg (Navy Blue), 2014 Sachsen-Anhalt (Green), and 2015 will be Hessen (Light Blue)!

 

Course Information:

OKTOBERFEST TRIATHLON SWIM COURSE (750 Meters): The triathlon course for the Oktoberfest Sprint Triathlon will take place in and around Union reservoir, offering breathtaking views of the snowcapped mountains only miles away.  The swim course is rectangular shaped, with the swimmers traveling in a counter clockwise direction.  Participants exit the water at the northern end of the course next to the dock/boat ramp and run about 100 yards to the transition area along a carpeted path.  Yes you read that correctly the path from the waters edge to the T/A will be CARPETED!!! The water temperature at Union Reservoir normally ranges between mid to high 70s this time of year. 

 

OKTOBERFEST TRIATHLON BIKE COURSE (12.9 Miles): We're excited to announce a BRAND NEW Single-Loop course for the Oktoberfest Triathlon.  This course has everything a sprint triathlon could ask for; flat sections that are wide-open for passing and fully closed to traffic on CR1, rolling hills on CR7 & CR5.5, wide-shoulders, and smooth alsphalt.  Please be sure to review the map.  We'd like to thank the City of Longmont, Weld County, and Colorado State Patrol for coming together to approve this athlete friendly bike course around Union Reservoir.  

 

OKTOBERFEST TRIATHLON RUN COURSE (3.1 Miles):  The 5K run is an out & back course along the dirt road adjacent to Union reservoir, with only one short hill to climb just before mile 1.  On the way back dont forget to look just beyond the water and youll see a breathtaking view of Longs peak and many other snow capped mountains.  There will be an aid station at just past the 1st mile that you'll hit twice on the out & back course.
