Ski Lake/ RedBird Farms Triathlon

Sprint, Olympic, and Half Iron distance races for Adults 18 y/o and up!  

The SWIM takes place in the calmest, narrowest, & most fan-friendly & athlete-friendly lake in Oklahoma!  Ski Lake is typically used for water skiing - a long straight, narrow rectangle w/ soft-grass Beach-Entry the entire length of the course!  Athletes are always 20 feet away from shore at the most!! 

The BIKE takes place on the freshly paved asphalt of Highway 81 - w/ outer lanes & shoulders blocked to traffic.  And also on a relatively flat Keowee road heading West to the friendly city of Hillsdale and back.  Police will protect the major turns. 

The RUN will happen on very lightly trafficked, mildly hilly, country roads w/ a Fall Festival Finish at RedBird Farms w/ fun for the whole family!  Music, food, hay rides, carnival games, country shopping, petting zoo, homemade ice cream, and lots more!!
