The 13th annual Got Energy Triathlon takes place in the beautiful Lake Neshonoc and surrounding West Salem neighborhood. It is a great fit for any ability, from beginners to elite. This event allows people to test their abilities at open water swimming, road cycling, and running. Athletes can compete individually or as teams.
*Online registration will close on June 17th at 11:59pm - at Swarthout Park on Saturday from 2-6pm
IMPORTANT COURSE NOTE
Due to construction on Highway 16 this summer and resulting traffic detours, the bike course has been rerouted for 2016. The Y and Tri Committee has been working with local Law Enforcement, the Wisconsin DOT and the Highway Department to develop an alternate course. After weeks of research and planning, the new route has been approved by all required authorities. In order to make a new route possible, the course had to be slightly shortened for both race categories. Please note that is only a temporary (1 year) change. Thank you for your understanding with this unique situation.
