Flater's Triple-R-Triathlon
About this race
This triathlon is held the 2nd Saturday of each May and includes a 3 mile run, a 10 mile road bike ride, and ends with a 6 mile canoe/kayak trip downriver. Participants can complete the race either solo, as a team (canoe together), or even as a 2 or 3 racer relay (splitting up the race portions).
The race starts at noon with a 3 mile run, followed by a 10 mile paved bicycle ride, and a 6 mile canoe or kayak trek downriver. It starts and ends at Flater's Resort. The bicycle portion begins at Old Bogie's on Chippewa Avenue, and the canoe/kayak leg begins at River's Edge Resort on County Rd E 6 miles north of Flater's upriver on the Flambeau. Be sure to arrive early to allow time for parking, bib and t-shirt issue, and crowds.
The race fee is $40 per person. Participants receive t-shirts, food, beverages, and entertainment following the race. The race is also professionally timed. Registration links can also be found on Flater's Resort website.
Local kayak rental available with Lake Holcombe Sports and Rentals.
