Great Island Adventure Triathlons
The event takes place on June 27, 2026 in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania with a central transition area at the Lockport Boat Launch. Two sprint-format triathlon options are offered, and entries may be individual or relay.
- Swim Sprint - Swim, Bike, Run, total 10 miles
- Adventure Sprint - Kayak, Bike, Run, total 10 miles
Swimmers begin 750 m upstream and complete a 750 m downstream swim. Kayakers start in the river at the transition area and complete a 5k kayak loop. After the swim or kayak leg, athletes ride a 10.6 mile bike course on open roads, then run a 5k.
Relay teams may be two or three persons and register under a common team name, with each team member registering separately. Teams compete within the same tri type and gender division; team categories include All Female, All Male, and Mixed Gender. Awards are given to the top three teams in each gender category for each race. Individual awards go to the top male and female overall and the top three males and females in these age groups: under 21, 21-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70 and over.
Participants receive recovery food after finishing and choose either a long-sleeved race shirt or an athletic towel with registration. Safety rules require PFDs while in boats, helmets while on bikes, and no headphones or earbuds on the bike course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
