The 6th annual Oktoberfest Triathlon is the party of the year and championship to the NEW Colorado Triathlon Tour!  This race, the 5th stop on the Colorado Tour, will officially end the Colorado Triathlon Season and we end it in style every year!  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 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 5 years so be be sure to take advantage of early registration.  2009 T-Shirt Theme was Bavaria (Blue), 2010 was Saxony (Green), 2011 Baden-Wurttemberg (Red), 2012 Sachsen-Anhalt (Green), and 2013 Saarland (Light Blue)

Course Information:

Swim: 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 60s this time of year. USA Triathlon wetsuit rules will apply. 

Bike: The bike course is a three-lap course - each lap being 4 miles in length. The course is COMPLETELY CLOSED TO TRAFFIC!!! .  The bike course will take you out of the Union Park area and onto a very flat and fast course with no hills to speak of.  Please be sure to review the map as you'll be on the left hand side of the road on CR26 heading out then when you return after the last lap you'll come into the Res on the left hand side.

Run: 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.  

Directions:

BOULDER:  Take 119 towards Longmont.  Go all the way through Longmont then when you hit CR1 take a left.  Take your next right on CR 26 and follow all the way into Union Reservoir.  We'll have a professional parking crew directing you as you get closer to the Reservoir.

DENVER/FT. COLLINS: Take I-25 and get off the the 119 exit.  Head west towards Longmont and take a right on CR 1.  Take your next right on CR 26 and follow all the way into Union Reservoir.  We'll have a professional parking crew directing you as you get closer to the Reservoir.
