Montana Women's Triathlon
The Montana Women's Triathlon is a community multisport event held in Helena that centers on supporting and empowering women through sport. The event starts at the city pool in Memorial Park and combines a pool swim, an out-and-back bike course, and a run or walk through local parks. The pool is a 50 meter outdoor pool with no deep water; the swim distance is 500 meters, equal to ten lengths, and each participant keeps their lane until finished. The bike course is a mostly flat 10 mile route through Centennial Park to Ten Mile Park and back, with short gravel sections, packed dirt, and paved city trails; mechanical assistance is available on course. The run or walk covers 3 miles, primarily on Centennial Park trails, passing the carousel and returning through the tunnel to the park.
The organizing group emphasizes mutual support during training and participation, and channels event proceeds to local causes. Past recipients include Girls Thrive, Running for Montana's Future / The Angel Fund, the Helena Cyclones Interscholastic Mountain Bike Team, the Helena Lions Swim Team, and the Helena Area Sports Association.
Volunteers provide course safety and support in roles such as lap counters, bike course guides, and run course marshals. A volunteer meeting is held after packet pick-up to review assignments and course details. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
