TRI Clear Lake
TRI Clear Lake is a USA Triathlon sanctioned triathlon hosted by the Clear Lake Area Chamber of Commerce in downtown Clear Lake, Iowa. The event starts and finishes lakefront downtown with the swim beginning at City Beach. The bike course is a flat-and-fast one- or two-loop out-and-back along South Shore Drive. The run follows North Shore Drive past the Surf Ballroom and returns to a lakeside finish in City Park. Aid stations are located near mile 1 and mile 2 on the run.
Timing uses disposable chips distributed the morning of the race; athletes are responsible for returning chips after the finish or a $30 fee will be charged. Nonmembers must purchase a USAT one-day permit; the one-day permit fee is added to nonmember entry fees. Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female finishers and to the top three in each category for sprint and Olympic distances, including age groups, Clydesdale and Athena divisions, and relay teams.
The event includes a Youth Splash & Dash for ages 7 to 15 with lifeguards and on-course volunteers, and a post-race finisher area with music, food, and beverages. Volunteer roles support swim, bike, run, transition, registration, setup, and tear down. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
