This event is becoming one of the premier Triathlon/Duathlons in Colorado because of its scenic beauty, breathtaking courses, challenging conditions, and exceptional organization. Feedback from last year’s participants reveal that the “Tri-It-High” Sprint Triathlon/Duathlon is one of the best organized, challenging, scenic, and satisfying races they have ever participated in.
Because of its huge popularity, the "Tri-It-High" Triathlon is limited to 230 registrations. This event sold out in 2009 and we expect it to sell out early in 2010, so please enter early to assure your registration in the race. There is NO entry limit for the "Du-It-High" Duathlon.
The Course: The swim portion of the event will be held in our newly remodeled heated indoor facility with the bike and run legs being held on breathtaking courses at the base of Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive. Duathlon participants will substitute an additional 5K run (5K run, 20K bike, 5K run).
