About the race
The 29th Annual Granite Bay Triathlon takes place at Granite Beach, Folsom Lake SRA, and serves as the NorCal/Nevada Tri Club Championship Race. It is organized as a sprint triathlon with a lake swim, a multi-lap bike course, and a trail run that uses fire road, single track and pavement.
Distances
- 3/4 mile swim
- 10-mile bike
- 5-mile trail run
The bike portion is run as two laps on rolling, twisty park roads with a turnaround at Beeks Bight. The route begins on Old County Road and loops around Oak Point. The run starts from the transition area and heads south toward Beals Point, passing Granite Main Beach at the 1/2 mile mark. The route follows single track and pavement to the first aid station at about 1.5 miles, continues along the Pioneer Express fire road for an out-and-back section, and returns toward the finish.
The transition area is in the main parking lot of Granite Beach at the north end, assigned on a first-come basis except for reserved racks for triathlon clubs. The transition area is for athletes only and glass or bottles are not allowed.
First place overall male and female finishers receive overall champion awards, and awards are given three deep in each ten-year age group. All athletes receive a finisher shirt and hat, plus a post-race lunch. There are no cut off times for individual legs or the entire race. Packet pickup is available at the race venue on race morning. Spectator food and beverage will be provided by Anchored Eats.
