Event details
The Twin Lakes Triathlon takes place on Saturday, August 8, 2026, at Twin Lakes Bible Camp in Manson, IA (7718 Twin Lakes Rd, 50563). The day includes two race formats: a Sprint Triathlon and a Super Sprint Triathlon. Distances are:
- Sprint Triathlon: 500 m swim, 11.6 mile bike, 3.1 mile run (individual and team entries)
- Super Sprint Triathlon: 300 m swim, 5.8 mile bike, 1.75 mile run (individual entries only)
Entry fees listed on the event page are $60 for the Sprint individual, $90 for the Sprint team, and $60 for the Super Sprint. Cost for registration increases one month before the race. T-shirts are available for racers who register by July 23.
Race logistics
Packet pickup is available the evening before the race at Twin Lakes Bible Camp; that evening is the last opportunity to register in person, as there is no same-day registration. Packets can also be collected on race morning at check-in. On race day, check-in and athlete marking take place at the Gathering Place Porch; athletes receive timing chips and may enter the transition area to set up equipment. Only numbered athletes may enter the transition area, and security will monitor the area until equipment is claimed.
Both events use the same transition areas and are chip-timed, with real-time results provided by TrueTime Racing Services. Breakfast is provided for participants; others may eat with a donation. Awards are given to top overall finishers and age group winners, and a team award is presented for the Team Sprint. Lodging options at the camp include hotel-style rooms, RV hookups, and tent sites; reservations must be made at least one week in advance.
