Coeur d'Alene Triathlon 2026
The Coeur d'Alene Triathlon, Duathlon, and Sprint takes place at City Park and Beach in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on Saturday, August 8, 2026. The 2026 event marks the 42nd running of the race and offers multiple race formats and divisions, including relay categories and classifications such as Athena, Clydesdale, and Team Hoyt.
Olympic-distance athletes board cruise ships in the bay to begin a 1.5K swim that finishes on the sandy shoreline of City Park. The Sprint distance departs from the city park beach and is described with wave starts separated by gender for the swim. Distances for the Sprint are:
- 500-meter swim
- 13-mile bike
- 3.1-mile (5K) run
The Olympic and Duathlon bike routes include a full 40K option that follows Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive and continues onto Mullan Trail Road, which contains uphill sections. Run courses proceed north along the North Idaho Centennial Trail beside the Spokane River, with a 5K turnaround in front of the University of Idaho/LCSC Harbor Center and a 10K turnaround under the Seltice Way overpass. The course concludes at the finish line in Coeur d'Alene City Park at the Triathlon Village adjacent to Lake Coeur d'Alene and City Beach.
Registration is offered across several event categories and may include limited availability for event shirts with late registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
