The Dayton Triathlon and Multisport Festival has something for everyone, including all ages and ability levels! Races include kids, beginner, sprint, Olympic, and ⅓ iron distances in triathlons, duathlons, aquabikes, and aquathlons, open runs, and various open swim distances. We are athletes who want to foster a love of multisport training and racing, by hosting fun, safe, and challenging races. Racers call this race one of the best events in Ohio because of our positive, friendly atmosphere. Plus we have a post race meal (bbq, hot dogs, veggies, ice cream and more…) for athletes and spectators, designer tees in gender-specific cuts, in-race pictures, and finisher medals. Come race with us, all are welcome.
The race will take place at Buck Creek State Park Beach in Springfield, Ohio, which is a short drive North from Dayton and West of Columbus. The course is a very scenic swim, bike and run through the Ohio countryside. The swim takes place in CJ Brown Reservoir, an inland lake, which has little boat traffic and offers a very calm swimming experience. Racers will swim out and back along the beachfront. The water is shallower near the shore and you can touch there, but on the backside of the course, you will not be able to touch bottom. Beginner triathletes will be able to touch bottom the entire swim course. The transition area will be up a small hill in the parking lots across from the Buck Creek State Park office. Athletes will be on a paved lot as they transition from segment to segment.
The bike course goes through the State Park and onto the paved roads surrounding the park lands. The bike has rolling hills with 233 feet of elevation gains over the course of the 13.5 miles.
The run is also mostly flat as it only rises 76 feet over the course of the 3.1 miles. The run is on a paved path and road. The run course is closed to all motorized traffic; the bike course is open to road traffic. Athletes will finish in the parking lots next to the transition area and then can celebrate their accomplishment with our post-race food and drink.
