Galena Triathlon & Duathlon

For triathletes, the event begins with a 660-yard swim in the clear, cool waters of Apple Canyon Lake with a beach start and finish. The swim-to-bike transition is adjacent to the beach. Duathletes begin with a 2-mile run.
The second leg of the race is a breathtakingly beautiful 17.3-mile bike on the hilly and winding country roads of Jo Daviess County. The second transition area is located in the heart of Galena Territory at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa's Special Event field.
The final leg is a 4.3-mile run, which winds up and down the picturesque lanes and roadways. The finish line is located at Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa's Special Event Field, the site of the post race party.
This popular event has been named one of the "top 10" sprint triathlons in the U.S. by USA Triathlon (USAT). More information can be found at http://www.galena.org/triathlon.
