The Mountain Lakes Triathlon was held for the first time 34 years ago at Lake Guntersville State Park. We are so happy this community continues to support hosting this event and our great customers!
Now hosted in the heart of the City of Guntersville, don’t miss our fastest sprint triathlon or choose the Olympic distance (1.5k swim | 32.4 mile bike | 6 mile run.) This race has become the favorite for participants from Beginners to the Elite due to the flat, fast course, great post-race party, and of course the infamous tie-dye shirts and beach towels.
The 600 yard sprint swim and 1.5k Olympic swim are in Lake Guntersville. The course will be set up so you swim counter clockwise, keeping buoys on your left. The Olympic distance completes two loops of a half mile. Swimmers exit and re-enter the water to complete the 2nd loop.
The bike course is a 16.2 mile loop with a mix of residential and rural roads. It is flat and fast, with only a couple SMALL rolling hills. This course has only right hand turns, so do not turn unless it is marked, there is a sign, or a volunteer clearly tells you to turn. THE OLYMPIC DISTANCE COMPLETES TWO LOOPS OF THE SPRINT COURSE. There will be a water only bottle exchange point for the Olympic Bikers after they pass back by transition.
The run course is a 3 mile out-and-back on a paved running trail that winds along Lake Guntersville. This is one flat and fast run course! Please stay to your left on the running trail throughout the course to reduce congestion. The Olympic distance is two loops of the sprint course, for a total of 6 miles.
