2011 Oktoberfest Triathlon:
- The 4th annual Oktoberfest Triathlon is the party of the year!
- This race 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. If you're part of a club don't miss out on the $200 Club Competition to crown the fastest team in these lands
- . NEW for 2011: Your choice t-shirts! What's that mean? Easy, you get to pick cotton or tech, men's or woman's. 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 450 athletes to maintain a fun, yet lively, and laid back feel. Due to the low cap we've sold out the past 3 years so be be sure to take advantage of early registration. 2009 T-Shirt Theme was Bavaria (Blue), 2010 was Saxony (Green), and 2011 will be Braden-Wurttemberg!
Course Information:
The triathlon course for the Oktoberfest Sprint Triathlon will take place in and around Union reservoir, offering breathtaking views of the snowcapped mountains only miles away.
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.
