Rumpus in Bumpass : Pleasants Landing Marina, Lake Anna, VA
Rumpus in Bumpass is a triathlon weekend held at Pleasants Landing Marina on Lake Anna in Bumpass, Virginia. The event includes sprint and Olympic triathlon distances and corresponding aquabike options. The swim courses are in the southeast portion of Lake Anna near where the hot side meets the cold side, producing above average water temperatures in late April that organizers expect to be in the mid 60s. Swim courses are supported, include two right turns, and have sighting buoys every 75 meters. The peninsula layout makes the swim highly spectator friendly.
Distances offered:
- Olympic: 1.5K swim, 23 mile bike, 10K run
- Sprint: 750 meter swim, 12 mile bike, 5K run
The Olympic bike course is two loops on mostly right turns with rolling terrain on well paved roads and notable lake views. The sprint bike is a single loop on low traffic roads with rolling sections and short climbs. Run courses use out and back segments on paved, lightly rolling roads passing fields, forest and the South Anna River.
The event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon and scores multiple categories including Overall, Masters, Age Group, Aquabike, Military, Clydesdale, Athena and Relay Teams. Packet pickup is available the day before and the morning of the races; athletes must collect their own packet and present photo ID. Parking at the marina is limited and off site parking is available about a quarter mile away. All registered athletes receive a tri blend race shirt, custom socks, a finisher medal and a free finisher photo. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
