FirstTry Triathlon 2026

The FirstTry Triathlon takes place on Saturday, June 20, 2026, at Byram Lake's Clover Beach in Linden County Park, 15349 S. Linden Road, Linden, MI 48451. The event is USA Triathlon sanctioned.

The race distances follow a Super Sprint format and are listed below:

300 yd swim
10 mi bike
2 mi run

The event is designed specifically for first timers ages 12 and up. It aims to provide the experience of racing in a triathlon with shorter distances and a structure intended to reduce the intimidation that can come with a first race. Participants who are not first time triathletes are directed to the FastTry event, which is the competitive version offering age group and overall awards.

The race is hosted by a group of local triathletes who organize the event to introduce new athletes to triathlon racing. The format and distances are presented as an introductory option compared to standard sprint distances, providing a shorter course intended for newcomers.
