Jordanelle Triathlon
The Jordanelle Triathlon is held at Jordanelle Reservoir in the Rock Cliff Recreation Area (2500 UT‑32, Kamas, Utah). The event offers multiple race formats and on-site camping options near the venue. Packet pickup is held on multiple days before the race at Salt Lake Running Company and at the Rock Cliff finish-line area; there is no packet pickup on race day. Packets include a swim cap, shirt or swag item, a sticker set, a race bib, sponsor items, and a limited number of parking passes. Someone may pick up an athlete packet with a copy of the athlete’s photo ID.
Swim starts use a time trial format (five athletes at a time) and proceed counter-clockwise in a rectangular course; sprint athletes complete one loop and intermediate athletes complete two loops. Typical water temperature in June is reported between 58 and 64 degrees. Swim cap colors identify distances: red for sprint and green for intermediate.
The bike courses leave Rock Cliff along State Route 32 with a rolling, false-flat profile and are controlled at major intersections by law enforcement. Riders are advised to carry at least two bottles of water. The run is held on paved paths and boardwalks in the Rock Cliff area with aid stations approximately every 1 to 1.5 miles and portable toilets near each station.
Awards are given to the top three overall male and female finishers and to top three male and female in multiple age groups, plus Clydesdale and Athena categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
