Now in our 5th year! this triathlon is focused on all levels of competition regardless if you're a long time triathlete or just dipping your toe into the water for the first time. We have three separate races the Mini-mize, the Main-Mize and the Maxi-Mize which allow for level competition for all participants. The race starts off the beach of Kestner park overlooking the famous Portage canal lift bridge and the bike race winds through the hills of Houghton finishing with a run along the canal park. ENTRY FEE TO BE PAID IN CASH THAT MORNING: $5.00 The race is currently funded privately by the residents of Houghton and all proceeds go to covering the cost of setting up the event with the community.
