The Huckleberry Festival Sprint Triathlon is Set for July 25th 2015. This is going to be a half mile swim, 11.7 mile bike ride with 3.5 miles of gravel, and a 5 k run.  We will start with the first wave of racers at 8:30 then the next every 5 min. Registration starts at 7am at Pilcher Creek Reservoir.

We want this event to be one for anyone that wants to join in. So we have opened this for individuals and teams of 2-3 people. You can one person for each leg or work it our for 2 people to have one do 2 legs and the other to do the one leg.

This is a Point to point race Everyone ending in North Powder. We will be doing total overall times. If you want your each leg times it will be up to you. Because this is a point to point race we will provide a bag with a name and or number on each bag to place your items in when you transition from swim to bikes. I will have it arranged to get them down to the end of the race. If you can it would be great to have your own arrangements to get picked up or to go get your rig from the starting point. If you have no option we can arrange a shuttle to get you back up there. We don't want anyone to be detoured for this reason.

The cost of our events is:

We feel this event will be a great way to explore the Powder Valley. We will start with our open water swim at the Pilcher Creek Reservoir, then transition to your bike for a 11.7 mile ride through the beautiful valley, in which  you will be starting out on a stretch of gravel road with a good down grade hill, back to our little country town of North Powder where you will then get ready for your 5k run. With all of it ending back in North Powder.

 This is an event that will be for all levels of competitors. We want anyone who wants to be able to participate. We also are opening this for individuals as well as teams.

The proceeds from this event will go to North Powder Charter school to help fund new play equipment for the grade school.

Our event is going to be held On July 25, 2015. Time and Cost TBA.
