Organiser's Description

The River to Ridge Triathlon is not your typical triathlon. Theres no pool, no road bike, no wetsuit-optional debate. Theres a river, a trail, and a ridge and youre going to earn all three.

Set entirely within the Shenandoah River State Park, this off-road tri sends athletes down the South Fork of the Shenandoah by kayak, then back along the river trail on foot, then up into the amazing single track on mountain bike all at the peak of fall foliage season. Three disciplines. Three completely different landscapes. One unforgettable day.

The course is designed around the natural geography of the state park: paddle the river with the current, run the trail between the water and the forest, then ride the trails where the October canopy puts on its full show. Whether youre a triathlete looking for something wilder than pavement, an adventure racer, or simply someone who wants to experience this valley on its own terms, this event was built for you.
