Coeur d'Alene Triathlon 2026 - The Scenic Challenge
The event takes place in August at City Park & Beach in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, beside Lake Coeur d'Alene. It includes triathlon and duathlon options with Olympic and sprint formats and team relay entries.
Swimmers in the Olympic distance board cruise ships in the bay and swim back to the sandy beach at the park. The sprint swim starts from the city park beach and uses women and men specific wave starts. Bike courses follow the shoreline on Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive; Olympic and duathlon riders covering the full 40K proceed to Mullan Trail Road, which includes an uphill section. The run course travels north along the North Idaho Centennial Trail beside the Spokane River and has two turn-around points: the 5K in front of the University of Idaho/LCSC Harbor Center and the 10K under the Seltice Way overpass. The course finishes at the Triathlon Village in Coeur d'Alene City Park adjacent to the lake and City Beach.
Registration includes individual and relay categories with an early season registration window from Jan 1 through Apr 30. Late registrations may have limited event shirt availability. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
