Experience the James River as you've never seen it before as you run, ride, and paddle your way through this epic multi-sport adventure in beautiful Botetourt County. The Buchanan Tri is a great triathlon for beginners, but is also challenging for experienced triathletes. We're now in our 4th year -- the race has grown each year and winners' times have dropped each year.  Sign up now at our early bird pricing and start your training! 

Individuals: $50 before 6/1; $60 after 6/1 & before 8/15; $70 after 8/15

The Swag: Participants will receive a race t-shirt (guaranteed if registered by 8/15) and post-race food.  Top finishers will receive unique awards and serious braggin' rights!

Start: Buchanan Town Park, 2 p.m.  We recommend you transport your kayak to the Springwood Boat Landing on your way to the park. If you would rather Twin River Outfitter transport your boat to the river, make sure you sign up here. If you rent a kayak, your boat will be staged at the river for you. We will have volunteers at Springwood beginning at noon.  Packet pick-up and on-site race registration will be at the gazebo from noon to 1:30.
