Des Moines central location and thriving metro area makes it a perfect place to host youth triathletes for a weekend of celebration. Terra Lake Park in Johnston is brand new and will grow along with us over the coming years. The last weekend of summer before school goes back in session will be spent on the shores of this beautiful new lake and biking the boulevards of the beautiful Des Moines suburb.
There is no qualification requirement to come to our Series Championship. A Championships should be a celebration, and that’s exactly what we’re looking to do. Our Des Moines Race Weekend will be a celebration of our inaugural year and of all the kids who’ve chosen triathlon as part of their identity. We will also be crowning our series champions based on point accumulation throughout the season
Course Information:
The Swim: The swim will be held in Terra Lake. It will be an out and back swim with an brief shallow self before giving way to a deeper depth. We will have plenty of water safety and lifeguards on hand to help with the event.
The Bike: The bike portion of our event will be wide open. Athletes will complete their bike laps entirely on Pioneer Parkway before returning to the venue for the run. Spectators will be able to see the athletes multiple times on each lap and athletes will enjoy 2 lanes in each direction for much of the ride.
The Run: For 2015 the run will be “cross country” style. To start the athletes will make their way along a mowed path through the tall grass on the south side of the lake. From there, Intermediates and Seniors will make their way on an out and back portion on paved trail before returning to the lake to finish the 750 meter journey around the lake to finish on The Great Lawn next to the lake.
Directions:
It's just minutes away from I-35/I-80
Coming from I-35/1-80: Take the Merle Hay Road exit North. Take a left on Pioneer Pkwy. Terra Lake will be on the left hand side of the road.
