Welcome to the LOP Annual Triathlon
More than a Quarter Century of Triathlon Tradition.
LOP Labor Day Weekend Triathlon :
Each year since the 2001 season, when the Association took over the reigns of running the Triathlon from the Rec and Ski Club, we have tried to make changes that would help make the event safer (reversing the direction of the bike and run courses; providing buoys and non-motorized escort craft for the swim) and also to offer an event that was still challenging to the participants. We wanted the event to mature into a more classic Triathlon atmosphere (transition area, bike racks, etc.) without losing its local community character. After all, we have one of the longest running triathlon events in the country, and we want to keep that tradition and record going.
To continue with these goals we are offering three triathlons:
Sprint Triathlon with distances: .6 mile swim, 15.2 mile bike (3 laps), and a 3.8 mile run.
Super Sprint Triathlon: .3 mile swim, 5.1 mile bike (1 lap), and a 3.8 mile run.
Kid's Triathlon: 200 yard swim, 2.5 mile bike, and a 1.4 mile walk/run.
The combined field for these triathlons will be limited to the first
250 athletes to sign up. For the first time in the long history of the Lake of the Pines Triathlon, in 2008 we met our race quota of entries early in our sign up period. As this event gains recognition and becomes more popular we encourage interested participants to register as early as possible.
Registration for 2010 will open approximately May 1, 2010. The earlier you register the better, because if you register early, you will be guaranteed t-shirt. You will need to pre-register with LOP to verify membership/guest status and obtain a PIN for Active.com
The races are in a rolling hill setting within the Sierra Foothills. The
bike and run are moderately hilly. We estimate the water temperature range to be between 75-80 degrees and the average high air temperature is 87 with a low of 58 degrees. The water temperature is measured at 2 feet below the surface on race day an hour before the start of the event. 2001-2008 the Lake water temperature has ranged from 75 to 78.9 degrees. In five of those six years the water temperature was 77+ degrees Fahrenheit.
The race starts at 7:30am for the Kids Triathlon, and 8:00am for the Sprint and Super Spring Triathlon Saturday of Labor Day Weekend. It's always a good idea to show up as early as you can. Registration processing begins at 6:00 am. Be sure to read all the directions and instructions including Race Rules on this web site. We’ve tried to present all the information you will need to have a fun and successful race experience.
