MAC Triathlon
The MAC Triathlon is a sprint-distance multisport event held in Mitchell, South Dakota. The race starts and finishes at the Mitchell Aquatic Center. Participants complete three distinct segments through the city and surrounding scenic areas.
The event consists of the following distances:
- 500 m wave swim
- 14 mile bike ride
- 5 km run
The competition begins with a wave swim at the Mitchell Aquatic Center. Following the swim, participants transition to a bike course that covers the east side of Mitchell. The final segment is a run through the areas surrounding Hitchcock Park.
Specific regulations are in place to ensure participant safety. All athletes must wear a helmet during the bike portion and a swim cap during the swim. Timing chips are required to be strapped to the ankle throughout the entire event. For safety reasons, the use of headphones or musical devices is prohibited. Race bibs must be visible at all times, with specific placements required for the helmet and bike.
Packet pick-up is scheduled for the day before the race at Anytime Fitness in Mitchell. On the morning of the event, the transition area is open for a limited window prior to the start. Re-entry to the transition area is not permitted once it closes for the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
