Triathlon : Swim 750 Meters, Bike 16 Miles, Run 3.1 Miles |
Join us for the Tri for the Sun triathlon with the Town of Carbondale Parks and Rec Department and Sunlight Mountain Resort! We are super excited for the second annual triathlon event that features swimming, biking, and trail running through our beautiful Valley! Pick your poison with a gravel or a road bike for the stunning ride over dry park road. Racers had success with both styles of bike last year so ride whats right for you. The 5k running portion is all on rugged trail so make sure you get some hilly dirt work in before race day.
THE RACE
The Tri for the Sun is a unique sprint triathlon that will start at the John M. Fleet Carbondale Pool and end at Sunlight Mountain Resort! This is a non-sanctioned triathlon and proceeds will benefit local non-profits.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Bring all necessary transition items to Sopris Park the morning of race day. We will move all your drop bags to Sunlight after you have started the bike portion of the race. PLEASE HAVE ALL YOUR BAGS DROPPED OFF BY 6:30AM AT THE CARBONDALE POOL. MAKE SURE EACH BAG IS CLEARLY LABELED WITH YOUR FULL NAME, BIB NUMBER, AND “DROP BAG” “BIKE,” OR “RUN.” Your “Drop Bag” will be available at the start line and finish line. Your “bike” bag will be in Sopris Park with your bike. Your “run” bag will be at the bike run transition station.
*Swimmers will take off in waves of 6 or 12(covid depending). The next swimmer will enter the pool once their lane is clear and instructed to do so by a race official.*
*You are responsible for your own transportation back to Carbondale. You may park cars at Sunlight overnight to make it an easy shuttle on race day.*
*Everyone should be ready to go at 6:30am, no matter what your start time will be.*
We will provide water and Gatorade at Carbondale Pool, Dry Park Road/4Mile Road intersection, and at the Sunlight Mountain Resort transition.
