Bass Lake Yosemite Triathlon : May 30, 2026
The Bass Lake Yosemite Triathlon is the 15th annual edition held at Bass Lake, California, near Yosemite National Park. The event offers multiple race formats on a course set in and around the lake and the Sierra foothills. The 1983 and 1984 USAT (then TriFed) and USTS National Championships were held at Bass Lake, and the race traces a tradition that began in the early 1980s.
Race formats and distances include:
- Olympic: 1500 m swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run
- Sprint: 800 m swim, 20 km bike, 5 km run
- AquaBike: swim and bike in both Olympic and Sprint distances
- Duathlon: 5 km run, 20 km bike, 5 km run
The transition area is located at The Pines Resort on Bass Lake, adjacent to on-site lodging. Other lodging options around the lake include National Forest campgrounds, private rentals, and resort accommodations. The event references a t-shirt and finisher medal design; t-shirt orders must be made by May 10. Bass Lake and the nearby community of Oakhurst are a short drive from the gates of Yosemite National Park, and the area provides proximity to well-known park sites and hiking opportunities.
