About the race
Payson Orchards Triathlon is a multi-event race in Payson, Utah on June 12, 2027, held at 655 S Main Street. The event program includes a sprint triathlon offered for individuals and teams, a 12 and under super-sprint triathlon, and a 5K walk/run.
Distances:
- 5K walk/run only.
- Sprint triathlon: 5K run, 11-mile bike, 300-yard swim.
- Team sprint triathlon: same distances as sprint triathlon.
- 12 and under super-sprint: 1.25-mile run, 2-mile bike, 100-yard swim.
The sprint triathlon uses a reverse-order format: run first, then bike, finishing with a pool swim. The bike course passes through cherry orchards and farms and is described as relatively flat; the route crosses train tracks twice. The pool swim is conducted in lanes with a "snake" pattern; lifejackets are permitted. The 12 and under race uses short loops on quiet city streets with marked turns and volunteer support.
Packet pickup is available the day before and the morning of the event. Chip timing is provided, and printed results are available after finishing. Registered participants receive race items including a t-shirt, finisher medal, and wristbands for early entry to the local pool. Awards include overall and age-group prizes and top teams in the sprint triathlon, and age-based awards in the kids race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
