Welcome to CyMan!  The CyMan Triathlon is THE event for triathletes of all ages and abilities to compete with one another in beautiful Central Iowa. Taking place in Bondurant Iowa, the CyMan starts at Lake Petoka. The swim is one lap around for Sprint distance and two laps for Olympic. The bike portion of the race is held on paved roadways and manned by event staff as well as local police to ensure a safe and fun ride. The run covers a portion of the Chichaqua Valley Trail and ends with a lap around Lake Petoka for a scenic and exciting finish. All participants will receive a CyMan waterbottle and T-Shirt with their registration.  No shirts will be garaunteed after the first of September. Medals will be given to the top three male and female finishers in each age division for both the sprint and olympic distances.  We hope to see everyone have a great race!
