Hopkins Royal Triathlon
The Hopkins Royal Triathlon is the 12th annual event held at Shady Oak Beach, Shady Oak Road, Minnetonka, MN on September 5, 2026. The event offers a traditional sprint distance triathlon and a mini sprint event that is run as the US mini-Sprint Nationals.
Race distance options include:
- Sprint: 750 yd swim, 12-mile bike, 5K run
- Mini Sprint: choose from three distance options for each segment on race day
A VIP Charity Slot is offered for participants who want priority parking and prime bike racks in the transition area; funds from that option support volunteer youth groups. The event schedule includes opening of the transition area, a pre-race meeting, and an awards ceremony with door prizes. The organizer notes the race typically sells out in advance and some entry categories are listed as sold out for this edition.
The venue address is 5200 Shady Oak Rd, Minnetonka, MN 55343. The format uses time trial starts and includes an awards presentation after the races. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
