Tricky Trout Paddle Triathlon
The Tricky Trout Paddle Triathlon is a multi-sport event organized by the Hayward Curling Club. The competition replaces the traditional swimming leg of a triathlon with a paddling segment, followed by cycling and running. Participants can choose to compete as individuals or as part of a team. The event is open to participants aged 12 and older. Competitors under the age of 14 must participate as part of a tandem team alongside a teammate over the age of 18.
Athletes can select from three different registration classes:
- Solo: Individual competitors racing against other individuals.
- Tandem: Teams of two who paddle together and combine their run and bike times.
- Relay: Teams of two or three where each member completes different legs.
The course features a staggered start for the paddling portion, with departures every 30 seconds. The running segment takes place on trails rather than exclusively on paved roads, providing participants with shade during the race. Following the competition, an after-party featuring food and beverages is held at the Hayward Curling Club. Proceeds from the event are used to support the curling club's operations and facilities.
