The Bottomless Triathlon is a super sprint triathlon held at Bottomless Lakes State Park in Roswell, New Mexico.

Additional organizer policies noted include free entry for the first five under 18 solo athletes, a referral cash back option for referring five others, conditional refunds if the race fills and wait list participants accept spots, and no deferrals.
