Coeur d'Alene Triathlon 2026
The Coeur d'Alene Triathlon, Duathlon, and Sprint is scheduled for August 8, 2026, at City Park & Beach in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The event title "The Scenic Challenge" reflects the lakeside setting used for swim, bike, and run courses.
Race options include individual and relay entries plus category entries such as Athena, Clydesdale, and Team Hoyt Sprint. Late registrations may have limited availability for event shirts.
Distances:
- Olympic swim: 1.5K
- Olympic bike: 40K
- Sprint: 500-meter swim, 13-mile bike, 3.1-mile run
For Olympic-distance athletes the swim departs from Coeur d'Alene cruise ships in the bay and finishes on the sandy beach at City Park. The Sprint distance launches from the city park beach after the Olympic start and uses women-specific and men-specific wave starts for its swim segment.
The bike course follows the shoreline on Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive. Olympic-distance triathlon and Duathlon riders completing the full 40K proceed onto Mullan Trail Road, which includes an uphill section.
Run courses travel north along the North Idaho Centennial Trail beside the Spokane River. There are two turnaround points: the 5K turnaround in front of the University of Idaho / LCSC Harbor Center and the 10K turnaround under the Seltice Way overpass. The event concludes at the finish line in Coeur d'Alene City Park at the Triathlon Village adjacent to Lake Coeur d'Alene and City Beach.
