Event Overview
The Splash Summit Triathlon is a reverse-order multisport event held in Provo, Utah. Unlike traditional triathlons, this race begins with the running segment and concludes with the swimming portion. The finish line is uniquely situated at the end of the 300-foot "Avalanche" waterslide within the Splash Summit Waterpark.
The event features several participation options:
- Sprint Triathlon: Includes a 3.1-mile run on asphalt, an 8-mile two-loop bike ride, and a 300-yard swim in the wave pool.
- Team Relay: A team of two to three people completes the Sprint Triathlon distances, with members alternating for the swim, bike, and run segments.
- Kid's Tri: Designed for participants aged 7-12 (and adults participating with them), consisting of a 1.5-mile run, a 4-mile bike ride, and a 150-yard swim.
- 5K Run/Walk: A 3.1-mile running or walking event for those not participating in the bike or swim portions.
Course Details
The run takes place entirely on asphalt surfaces. During the triathlon events, participants transition within the waterpark before exiting for the bike segment. For the swim portion in the wave pool, participants are permitted to use lifejackets. To reach the finish line, racers climb a ramp and use a mat to slide down the 300-foot waterslide.
Participant Information
All registered participants receive a t-shirt, race bib, finisher medal, and sponsor items. Individual triathlon registrants receive two passes to the Splash Summit Waterpark, while 5K participants receive one pass. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers overall in the sprint, 5K, and various age categories ranging from under 16 to over 70.
