We’re back for the 6th annual TriToFinish Half Distance Triathlon in Caseville for the premier multisport event in Michigan's thumb area! This event provides athletes with a great opportunity to see more of the untapped thumb region. The swim will take place in the beautiful waters of Lake Huron, while the bike course will trace the waterline out and back. A smooth and flat course should usually bakes for an incredibly fast bike split. The run course takes athletes toward the central part of the thumb and is relatively flat and on back roads that are paved or packed gravel.

Once again athletes will complete an out and back course finishing along the pristine beaches of Caseville County Park. Caseville boasts numerous summer festivals and we are fortunate to capstone this year’s Tribute Summer Concert (which provides the inspiration for each year’s triathlon event!) with a Sunday morning triathlon. Come enjoy the themed concert at the Caseville County Park amphitheater on Saturday night. Put this event on your destination race list, as it is one you won’t want to miss.

Course Information:

Caseville, located directly off Lake Huron, is the perfect host town for a multisport event. Nestled amongst Caseville’s summer festivities, the Caseville Classic Triathlon/Duathlon is a fast and beautiful race. The swim will take place in the crystal clear waters of Lake Huron with athletes completing a rectangular swim (athletes will follow pre-determine buoys based on distance). The bike course is an out and back on newly paved roads along Lake Huron. You'll enjoy picturesque views the entire way. Half Iron Distance and Olympic athletes will bike 20km to the turnaround with Half Iron Athletes going back out on the course for a second lap. Sprint and Duathlon athletes will bike 10km to their turnaround. The run traverses a road parallel to the bike course. New on the run this year, Half Distance athletes will run 2 loops of the Olympic run course. Olympic athletes will run 5km to their turnaround. Sprint and Duathlon athletes will run 2.5km to their turnaround.

Directions to Event

For those of you outside the thumb, make your way to Bay City and hop on M-25 East.  Follow it around the west side of the thumb until you get to Caseville.  Caseville County Park will be on the left if you're coming from the South. Alternatively, you could take M-24 north until it meets up with M-25.

For those of you inside the thumb, let's be honest you know where Caseville is...it's the rest of us that need help.

Planning to participate? Awesome! Please review this linked list of USAT Commonly Violated Rules to be prepared.

T-Shirts 

*Event-specific T-shirts are guaranteed ONLY to those who register online before Noon on Friday, June 30th! All registrants after that date/time will be provided with a TriToFinish t-shirt if event-specific shirts are unavailable on site. Ladies cut shirts are offered for this event, but ladies are NOT required to order them. Note that Ladies cut shirts are smaller and more form fitting than the unisex shirts. Please order accordingly.

 

Awards

TriToFinish is committed to making this a memorable event for the participants. Every finisher from first to last will enjoy an exciting finish line. All Olympic/Sprint/Duathlon participants will receive a high quality event t-shirt. Half Distance athletes will receive a high quality ¼ zip technical shirt.

OVERALL AWARDS will be provided to the Top 3 overall fastest Male and Female in the Half Distance Tri, Olympic Tri, Sprint Tri, and Sprint Distance Duathlon events. In addition:

  • 1st Place overall Male and Female will receive free entry to next year’s race.
  • 2nd Place overall Male and Female will receive 50% off entry to next year’s race.
  • 3rd Place overall Male and Female will receive 25% off entry to next year’s race.

AGE GROUP Awards will be provided 3 deep for the Half Distance, Olympic, Sprint and Sprint Duathlon events. Award presentation for each event will begin ONLY after the last participant in that event crosses the finish line (or once event cutoff time has been reached).   Participants MUST be present to receive Age Group Awards*. 

* We apologize for any inconvenience this presents, but we truly believe that each Multisport Event is exactly that: an EVENT. Age Groupers finish at different times throughout races. It is unfair and unsportsmanlike to begin ceremonies for which a participant may be eligible for an award if that participant has not yet reached the finish line. Please be courteous of and encouraging to fellow athletes.

NOTE: All participants will receive their finisher medals upon completion of their event at the finish line
