Black Hawk YMCA Triathlon
The Black Hawk YMCA Triathlon takes place at George Wyth State Park in Waterloo, Iowa. This multi-sport event features options for individual athletes, relay teams, and swimmers interested in open water distances. The main competition follows a sprint triathlon format, combining three distinct disciplines into a single race.
Participants can choose from several event categories held on the same day:
- Black Hawk YMCA Triathlon: A sprint distance consisting of a 500 meter swim, a 16.5 mile bike ride, and a 5k run.
- Black Hawk YMCA Triathlon Relay: The sprint distance course completed by teams of multiple participants.
- Black Hawk YMCA 500m Open Water Swim: A standalone swimming event covering 500 meters in open water.
The triathlon event is open to individuals between the ages of 12 and 99. The swim portion of the race is held in an open water environment within the state park, followed by a cycling segment and a run. Registration for these events typically closes one week prior to the race date, though individual spots in the triathlon may be limited by a participant cap.
