Chisago Lakes Triathlon
The Chisago Lakes Triathlon is a USAT sanctioned event held at Paradise Park on Chisago Lake in Chisago City, MN on July 25, 2027. The swim uses an in-water start with waves of about 50 athletes; buoys mark the course and should be kept to the right.
Available race formats include:
- Sprint: 0.25 mile swim, 22 mile bike, 3.1 mile run
- Olympic: 0.75 mile swim, 26 mile bike, 6.2 mile run
- Half Iron: 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, 13.1 mile run Relay and aquabike divisions are also offered.
The bike course features rolling hills with several climbs and two aid stations at miles 25 and 47 offering bottle exchange, water, Gatorade, simple carbs and medical supplies. The run course goes through residential streets with community support and aid stations every 2 miles. Turnaround points are at the school for the sprint run, just after mile 3 on 275th Street for the Olympic run, and on Chisago Blvd at Maxwell Road for the half run.
Participants receive a t-shirt, finisher medal, swim cap, age group awards and post race food. Safety and event rules require swim caps, helmets secured before leaving transition, no drafting on the bike, bib worn on the run, and the timing chip secured on the left ankle and returned after the finish. GPX files are available for bike and run courses. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
