Due to the COVID-19 we have made the decision to change the Root River Triathlon to a VIRTUAL RACE this year as we are unable to ensure appropriate distancing for our participants and volunteers. (See this page from Governor Walz's Executive order regarding the COVID 19 sports guidelines for Youth and Adults. (https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/sportsguide.pdf)
How will it work?
You can choose where you would like to complete each leg of the triathlon, either the normal route around Houston or at another location. You are responsible for measuring your own distances if using your own routes (canoe/kayak 6.8 miles, bike 7.9 miles, run 3.0 miles).
If you want you can register as a team. Team-members can kayak or canoe, bike or run anywhere they want at any time and they can, as the individual participants, complete the triathlon at any time from September 12-26, 2020.
The legs of the race do not need to be done consecutively, or even the same day.
Record your times in the Google Sheet as an individual or as a team member.(we will provide you with the link.)
We will start mailing shirts to registrants on September 28.
We will not be awarding medals this year.
If you do the virtual race and have already paid for canoe/kayak rental, we will refund your rental fee.
Deadline for registration of the Virtual Root River Triathlon is September 11th at midnight Central Time.
