The Salt Fork region is dubbed the "Crossroads of America" — nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains along I-70 and I-77. Salt Fork Lodge & Conference Center is tucked away in the rolling hills of southeastern Ohio just a short drive from Cambridge, in Ohio's largest state park. The lush wooded surroundings boast miles of recreational trails, wildlife, and impressive views of the sparkling lake.
HFP Racing and Salt Fork Lodge & Conference Center invite you to Ohio's season closing long course triathlon — The Appalachian Foothills Triathlon. This exciting course serves as the final event of the American Triple-T Ohio event, giving you an opportunity to compete alongside Triple-T participants as they battle for top honors. Salt Fork State Park is nestled in the Appalachian Hills of southeastern Ohio. The Appalachian Foothills Triathlon will challenge all ability levels as you take on this challenging bike and run course.

The Appalachian Foothills Triathlon starts off with a two-lap 1.95km (1.2mi) swim on a counter clockwise rectangle swim course along the shoreline of Salt Fork Lake. Next up is very challenging 90km (56mi) bike course with nearly 5000 feet of total climbing, a course that will challenge ALL ability levels.
