The Colchester Parks & Recreation Department is excited to announce its 35th year hosting the Colchester Triathlon this July. The Colchester Triathlon welcomes over 400 athletes from various locations across the United States and Canada. In addition to the wide array of athletes, the triathlon also attracts thousands of spectators to the Bayside Park area of Colchester.
The Triathlon is a tradition in our community that enhances the experience of visiting and residing in Colchester and Chittenden County. Moreover, the revenue of this event provides the Parks & Recreation Department with funding for parks, playgrounds, school improvements, community resources, and youth athletic programs.
The 35th Annual Colchester Triathlon will be held at Bayside Park on Sunday, July 28, 2019 at 8:30 AM. This is a sprint triathlon: 500 meter swim OR 1.5 mile kayak, 12 mile bike ride, and three mile run. The race is open to participants ages 12 and up. Athletes may compete as individuals or in relay teams up to three racers. All racers receive chip timing results (five splits), event t-shirt, post-race refreshments, and sponsor goodies in their race packet. Awards are presented to the top three racers in each race category.
