Winter triathlon held on the pristine trails of the Vasaloppet nordic ski area. Participants will run 5km, fat bike 15km, and ski 10km. Skiing will be either skate or classic style. Start and finish at the Nordic Center. MINIMUM TIRE SIZE FOR THE BIKE WILL BE 3.7" TO ENSURE A GOOD EXPERIENCE AND MINIMIZE TRAIL DAMAGE.

The Duathlon will be for those interested in a different race experience, but no need to bring a bike! Participants will start at the same time and run the same 5km course. You will then transition to skis of either skate or classic discipline and ski 15km.

Teams will consist of 2 or 3 participants. If 2 people, person doing the first leg will then do the third leg. Chip will need to be exchanged in the team transition area and securely affixed prior to leaving transition.

As you enter transition on the back side of the Nordic Center you will come inside, were you will be able to set up a small area to keep your bike and ski boots warm. You will then exit on the front side of the Nordic Center, where you will pick up your bike after T1 and skis after T2 and head out on the trail. You will only be allowed a small space inside for things like your shoes and gloves. This twist has been added to make sure athletes have a space to keep vital warm weather gear warm before heading back out on the next leg of the event.
