Priest Lake Triathlon
The Priest Lake Triathlon is a sprint distance multisport event held at Hill’s Resort on the shore of Priest Lake, Idaho. The event offers both a road sprint course and a separate off-road sprint course. Athletes may enter as individuals or as relay teams of two or three, with teammates able to complete any combination of legs.
The swim for both formats takes place near Hill’s Resort marina; the off-road swim starts on the north side of the beach and follows a single counter-clockwise lap close to the marina. The off-road course legs are:
- Swim: 395 m
- Mountain bike: 11 miles
- Run: 5 km (3.1 miles)
The road cycling course is described as rolling and generally flat. The off-road bike course uses forest roads with dirt, loose gravel, rocks, ruts and potholes; mountain bikes with front suspension are advised and riders on cyclocross or gravel bikes are recommended to pre-ride the course. The run leg in both formats runs along packed dirt road with views of Priest Lake. Transition and the start/finish area are at Hill’s Resort and are well marked.
Race communications include final instructions and a required signed waiver. Registration options include day-of packet pickup and day-of registration at the start line. Event policies note no bib transfers or refunds and no pets on course. Participants receive custom technical shirts and finisher awards; there are age group and team awards and a post-race awards party with recovery food and drinks.
