Super Sprint
Description
Lake Rebecca Triathlon is located just 30 miles west of downtown Minneapolis at Lake Rebecca Park Reserve in Rockford, MN. Lake Rebecca is part of the Three Rivers Park District, and provides a beautiful backdrop for a great day of racing and spectating. There are many reasons why Lake Rebecca has continued to be such a popular destination for a triathlon: a clear, clean non-motorboat lake, low traffic county roads with wide shoulders, a beautiful run in the shade of mature trees, parking close to transition and lots of room to roam for spectators and families.
All abilities are welcome to join us, and we look forward to seeing you at Lake Rebecca Triathlon in July!
Please note: Headphones are not permitted on any part of the course. This is a safety concern for all involved in the situation.

Race Shirts
We had great feedback on our shirts in 2024, but we also know that not everyone wants another race shirt.
In 2025, race shirts are not included with your registration.
We reduced registration price by the price of a shirt so you can choose for yourself whether you'd like one or to participate for less without a shirt.
Shirts will be a unisex, triblend shirt.
Volunteering
Are you, a friend, or family member someone who would be interested in volunteering to help make our event amazing?
We will need course setup, course monitors, timing monitors, lifeguards, transition monitors, and other miscellaneous positions.
Are you a part of a nonprofit or team that wants to raise funds? We will donate to volunteer groups based on number of volunteers.
Please reach out to Mike at mike@running-tangents.com if you are interested in volunteering!
