Culpeper Triathlon
The Culpeper Triathlon is held at Mountain Run Lake Park in Culpeper, Virginia, at 16115 JB Carpenter Dr, near the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The event has been staged at this location since 2005 and features lake swims, paved bike sections, and rolling run terrain with views of the lake and mountains.
Race options include Olympic and Sprint distances plus aquabike and relay categories.
