Event Description

Race the River is a sprint-distance triathlon that takes place in beau­ti­ful Coeur d’Alene Idaho.  It starts with a 0.5 mile swim curv­ing to the right with the mild cur­rent of the Spokane River, just as it leaves crys­tal clear Lake Coeur d’Alene.  Ath­letes tran­si­tion onto their bikes through the mod­ern North Idaho Col­lege cam­pus and nav­i­gate an excit­ing 15+ mile bike course.  Exit­ing tran­si­tion, run­ners take to the Cen­ten­nial Trail for a 3.01 mile out and back run along the banks of the Spokane River.
