Twin Lakes Triathlon
The Twin Lakes Triathlon takes place at Twin Lakes Bible Camp in Manson, Iowa. It features two main events: a Sprint Triathlon and a Super Sprint Triathlon, as well as a standalone 500M Open Water Swim.
Events and Distances
- Sprint Triathlon: Consists of a 500 m swim, an 11.6 mi bike, and a 3.1 mi run. This event is open to individual participants and teams.
- Super Sprint Triathlon: Consists of a 300 m swim, a 5.8 mi bike, and a 1.75 mi run. This event is for individual participants only.
- 500M Open Water Swim: A standalone swimming event.
Registration and Schedule
Registration costs increase one month before the race. T-shirts are available for participants who register by July 23rd. Packet pickup is available the evening before the race from 6-8 PM at the camp, which is also the last opportunity to register, as there is no same-day registration. Registration can also be completed on the morning of the race at the check-in area.
Race-day check-in begins at 6:00 AM at the Twin Lakes Bible Camp Gathering Place Porch. Opening ceremonies are at 7:15 AM, with waves of swimmers starting at 7:30 AM. Both triathlons share the same transition area and are chip-timed, with results available in real time. Breakfast is provided for all participants.
Awards and Logistics
An awards ceremony is held approximately 20 minutes after the final athlete finishes. Awards are presented to the top three overall male and female winners in the individual races and the top team triathlon. Medals are awarded to the winner of each age bracket in the individual events. The camp offers on-site lodging options, including hotel-style rooms, RV hookups, and tent camping sites, with reservations required at least one week in advance.
