2016 St. Croix Valley Triathlon:

• This event began in 2000 and over time it has become one of the most beloved triathlons in the Midwest. The town of Hudson is one of those unique towns that are small town appeal with big city enjoyment. The night life is amazing and is as good as any large downtown district. St. Croix Valley Triathlon offers both an Sprint and Olympic course which makes this event perfect for first time triathletes and seasoned veterans alike. There is a kids' triathlon and a post-race meal in the park after the event.

Course Information:

The transition area is in the parking lot of Lakefront park on pavement.  In order to get to the lake, you will go through the park building that has a breeze way with a roof.  The beach is down 15 feet from the building so it offers great viewing for the spectator watching the swim.

The swim for the sprint is one lap that goes out across 200 feet and back in.  The swim starts at the beachfront, drop down to about 5.5 feet at about 100 feet and then comes back up to 4 feet or so and stays at this level for the rest of the swim until you get back in close to shore.  The Olympic swim is 2 laps where the swimmers go out, across, back to the first buoy, across to the start buoy at about 4 feet and then back out on lap 2.  This is a great swim course for newbies or people who are not as secure with their swimming.

The bike course is an out and back with a loop at the end for the olympic bikers.  The bike winds first through Hudson and then head up the hill and out of the St. Croix River valley.  The bikers will go to 5 miles about and turn around.  The olympic bikers with go through Burkhardt and do a loop out by Boardman before coming back on the same roads they went out on.  The course is rolling hills except for the one hill at mile 2 that is a nice hill they go up on the way out and down on the way back.

The run is also an out and back but the first 0.5 miles is on a trail along the river.  Then the participants take 2nd Street across the bridge to North Hudson and then a left on Wisconsin Street.  The sprint runners turn around at 2 miles while the olympic runners continue into North Hudson were they make a residential loop before heading aback the way they came.  This run course has a few hills but a majority of it is flat and many say that it is fast!  There is a waterstops at the 1 mile and 3 mile mark for the sprint and the 1,2.5,3.5 and 4 mile marks for the olympic.
