Cedar Lake Triathlon Series #6
This event is the final race in a six race summer series held every other Thursday night at Cedar Lake in Chester, CT. The organizers offer two race formats for 2026: individual and relay sprint triathlons, and a super sprint triathlon.
Distances offered include:
- Individual and Relay Sprint: 500(ish) yard swim, 10 mile bike, 5K run.
- Super Sprint: 200(ish) yard swim, 5 mile bike, 1 mile run.
The swim is an out and back open water lake swim with buoys kept to the swimmer's left. Transitions are inside the fenced perimeter of the lake with approximately ten bikes per rack; access to racks is on a first come, first serve basis. Helmets are required for cycling. Other course rules include staying to the right unless passing, no drafting, no earbuds or phones while racing, staying inside cones, and no animals in the park.
Wetsuits are encouraged when water temperature is below 80 degrees and are strongly encouraged for at least the first two races of the series. Racers must preregister; there is no onsite registration on race day. In the event of severe weather the organizers may convert the race to a duathlon, a 5K, or cancel the event.
