The Coeur d'Alene Triathlon, Duathlon, and Scenic Sprint
The event in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho includes three separate races held on Lake Coeur d'Alene and nearby roads and trails on Saturday, July 31, 2027. Distances for each race are:

- Scenic Sprint: SWIM 0.5k, BIKE 20k, RUN 5k
- Duathlon: RUN 5k, BIKE 40k, RUN 10k
The Olympic swim uses a deep water start that begins with a cruise ship ride into the bay; participants transfer to a barge, enter the water, swim to the starting buoys, and return to shore on Lake Coeur d'Alene. The lake is described as extending about 30 miles long and up to 3 miles wide. The 40k bike route follows Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive and the Yellowstone Trail and includes an uphill section. The Olympic run follows the Centennial Trail along the Spokane River and finishes in Coeur d'Alene City Park. Postrace amenities at the park include food, awards, and a beer garden. The Scenic Sprint covers half the distances of the Olympic race and is presented for beginner or novice participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
