2015 Colchester Triathlon:
• Last year’s Colchester Triathlon was a wash…literally! We were washed out by a deluge of rain, thunder, and lightning! Despite the many racers who trained for countless hours, woke up really early in the morning, and got drenched without even jumping in the lake for the water leg, we were forced to cancel last year’s race due to safety concerns. And wouldn’t you know it, this was the first time we had EVER cancelled a Colchester Triathlon in the 30 years since the event started.
• Many of our racers follow the philosophy of “Never Give Up,” and we’re taking a page from their book by refusing to give up our celebration of 30 years of Colchester Triathlon! Armed with a new Weather and Cancellation Policy (and an extra year to plan the celebration), we will celebrate the 30th time the Colchester Triathlon is actually run in its entirety: more than 30, less than 31… 30.1.
Course Information:
1/2 mile swim or 2 mile kayak
The first leg of the triathlon, the swim or kayak portion takes place in Lake Champlain in beautiful Malletts Bay. The swim portion is a triangle design and the kayak portion is a 1-mile paddle out and 1-mile paddle back to shore.
12 mile bike
The bike course starts along the waterfront taking you past a few camps which leads to Main Street Colchester in the center of town. You will pass the historic Meeting House and the Burnham Memorial Library. This is an open course to traffic.
3 mile run
The run will take you along a shaded path through quintessential New England neighborhoods and back along the waterfront until you arrive in Colchester's reknowned Bayside Park through the finish line.
