Folsom Lake Sprint and Super Sprint Triathlon

The Folsom Lake Triathlons take place at Granite Beach within the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area in Granite Bay, California. This multisport event features two distinct distances involving a lake swim, a road cycling segment on country roads closed to traffic, and a trail run along the lake.

Participants can choose between the following individual or relay options:

  • Super Sprint Triathlon: 400 yard swim, 5 mile bike, and 2 mile run.
  • Sprint Triathlon: 1/2 mile swim, 10 mile bike, and 3 mile run.
  • Sprint Triathlon Relay: Conducted over the full Sprint distance for teams.

Every competitor receives a swim cap, post-race refreshments, a pair of racing socks, and a finisher hat. Awards are presented to the top male and female finishers overall, as well as the top three finishers in ten-year age groups. For the Sprint Triathlon relay, awards are provided to the top teams in male, female, and coed divisions.

The transition area is located at the race venue and operates on a first-come basis, with designated spaces for triathlon clubs. Athletes undergo body marking at the entrance to the transition area, where race numbers and age divisions are marked on limbs. The event is held rain or shine, and registration fees include options for individual entries and relay teams. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
