Lakes Country Triathlon
The Lakes Country Triathlon is organized by the Kiwanis Club of Baxter and the Sertoma Club and is held at Whipple Beach in Baxter, Minnesota. The course begins with a short swim in Whipple Lake, follows a bike route that crosses a river and runs through wooded, rolling hills, and finishes with a flat run through a quiet residential area.
Race segments:
- 1/4 mile swim in calm Whipple Lake
- 13.6 mile bike through rolling hills and wooded areas
- 3.2 mile flat run through a residential area
Safety and rules for participants include compliance with Minnesota traffic laws, use of bike certified hard-shelled helmets, and a prohibition on drafting. Listening devices are not allowed on the bike course and are strongly discouraged on the run course. Registration fees are collected for the event and are non refundable. Proceeds from the event are returned to the community to benefit youth programs in the Brainerd Lakes area and other charities.
Additional operational details such as registration windows, race day registration, and any public health measures will be provided by the organizers as the event approaches. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
