_ The 2026 Loveland Lake to Lake Triathlon:
The Loveland Lake to Lake Triathlon has welcomed athletes from Northern Colorado, this entire state, region, country, and outside the USA for 25 years, and we are excited about our 2026 edition.
Athletes have ONE OPPORTUNITY each summer to compete at this beautiful venue. Loveland, CO~ one opportunity, one time each summer on a Saturday morning in June.
Loveland Lake to Lake is proudly known for striking the perfect balance between providing a very beginner-friendly experience where athletes who are new to the sport can ask the questions they need to feel comfortable and have a successful day (everyone from our staff to volunteers, our sponsors, and other athletes are willing to help), and at the same time attracting a high level of talent from outside the state as well as athletes from CU and CSU.
Racing for YOUR reason ~ whether you’re seeking an introduction to multi-sport, improvement upon your performance from the year past, competing for a slot at USAT Nationals (this is a USAT-sanctioned event), or coming out and competing with family and friends, we welcome all athletes to compete and improve at your level. An event known for its friendly local atmosphere, lovely venue, tremendous volunteer force, and a great race course.
No matter the athlete’s background, everyone will be able to relish in our friendly local atmosphere, incredible volunteer support, a scenic course, and a shady venue that makes spectating enjoyable for the whole family (even a playground for the kids!). Plus, you won’t find a better post-race meal anywhere else.
