Whidbey Island Triathlon
Join us for the 28th annual Whidbey Island Triathlon. Our athletes and volunteers have a rich history with the race and we look forward to providing an extraordinary athletic experience for you. It is our priority to do our part to ensure the safety of our athletes, volunteers, staff and Whidbey Island Community, while maintaining a quality experience for you.
This is a great first triathlon and a fun event for veteran triathletes. This scenic course starts with a 0.5 mile swim in beautiful Goss Lake. Leaving the lake, you’ll begin the 9-mile bike ride on paved country roads. The bike course is hilly with views of Saratoga Passage and the North Cascades. Finish with a 3.75 mile run on the Park trail system. One long winding loop, the woodsy course is on clean, clear trails and grass fields. Chip timing is provided by Bell Lap Productions. Extensive support provided by friendly volunteers. This event has limited space and fills to capacity, so register early!
