Twin Lakes Triathlon
Twin Lakes Triathlon takes place at Twin Lakes Bible Camp in Manson, Iowa, on August 8, 2026. The event day includes multiple race options held at the camp waterfront and surrounding roads.
Event distances include:
- Sprint Triathlon (Individual and Team): Swim 500 m; Bike 11.58 mi; Run 5 km.
- Super Sprint Triathlon: Swim 300 m; Bike 5.8 mi; Run 1.75 mi.
- 500 m Open Water Swim: Swim 500 m.
Age minimums are specified for each event: the Sprint and the 500 m open water swim are for participants ages 14 and up, and the Super Sprint is for participants ages 12 and up.
Registration periods and fees vary by event. Triathlon registration opens in September 2025; closing dates differ by event. Published fees include $60 for individual sprint entries, $90 for sprint teams, $60 for the super sprint, and $20 for the 500 m swim. In-person registration the evening before is available at higher rates for those final registrations.
Packet pickup and check-in are available the evening before and the morning of the event. Both triathlons share the same transition area at the waterfront; only numbered athletes may enter the transition area and participants must retrieve their equipment afterward. Security monitors the transition area until equipment is claimed.
Both triathlons are chip timed with live results provided. Awards include top three overall in individual races by gender, a top team award, and age-group medals. Twin Lakes Bible Camp offers lodging options including hotel-style rooms, RV hookups, and tent camping; reservations must be made at least one week before the event.
