Rumpus in Bumpass - Pleasants Landing Marina
Rumpus in Bumpass is a multi-distance triathlon and aquabike event held at Pleasants Landing Marina on Lake Anna in Bumpass, Virginia. The swim takes place in the southeast portion of the lake where water temperatures are typically warmer than the rest of the lake in late April. The swim courses are supported, include two right turns, and have sighting buoys approximately every 75 meters. The swim is spectator friendly with views from the surrounding peninsula.
Distances offered include:
- Olympic: 1.5K swim, 24 mile bike, 10K run
- Sprint: 750 m swim, 12.2 mile bike, 5K run
Olympic bike is two loops on well paved roads with rolling terrain and mostly right turns. The sprint bike is a single loop on low traffic roads with a few short climbs near lake causeways. During the cycling portion the marina entrance road will be closed to general traffic except for emergency vehicles; late arriving cars are directed to off-site parking about a quarter mile away.
Run courses are paved out-and-back sections that are lightly rolling and pass fields, forest and the South Anna River. Transition area access includes short gravel and wooded sections. The event is USA Triathlon sanctioned. Packet pickup is available on the Friday before the race and on race morning; photo ID is required to collect race materials.
