YMCA of Washington County Triathlon
The YMCA of Washington County Triathlon is a multi-sport event held in Washington, Iowa. This inaugural event features a course that begins and ends at the Washington YMCA. Participants can choose between two primary event categories:
- Individual Triathlon - A full course completed by a single athlete.
- Team Triathlon - A relay format where participants complete the course as a group.
The competition begins with a 300-yard swim held in the indoor aquatic center at the Washington YMCA, which offers a controlled environment for the first leg. Following the swim, the race transitions to a 13-mile bike course located on the Kewash Trail. This segment is an out-and-back route characterized by its flat surface.
The final leg of the event is a 5K run. The run course departs from the YMCA and travels through Sunset Park before returning to the facility for the finish. Both individual and team events are open to participants aged 15 and older. The venue is located at 520 W. 5th St. in Washington. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
