Ordinary Mortals Duathlon

All new in 2025 - the race will be held at Lake Pueblo State Park - Kestrel Pond (formerly called Rock Canyon Swim Beach). This is a nice secluded area of Lake Pueblo with little traffic.  

• There is no water testing for swimming or a life guard at Kestrel Pond anymore.  No fishing is allowed in Kestrel Pond. But the pond has a lovely beach area, you can bring paddleboards, kayaks and tubes with a personal floatation device (life jacket) to enjoy after the race. Feel free to hang out after the race and enjoy the beach, play some volleyball or enjoy the river and river fishing nearby. 
• PARKING: 
  • There is plenty of parking at the venue but make sure you park in a designated parking space! Our permit depends on people respecting the delicate prairie so consider carpooling to the race. 
  • There is overflow parking east (downstream) from the venue or across the river. 
• Colorado State Parks does not allow the sale of any items without a lot of red tape. We will have pizza for participants, water and gatorade type drinks after the race. But pack your favorite snacks as there isn't a quick place to grab a bite to eat. If you'd like to set up a vendor tent, no sales are allowed, only samples and information about your organization. 

LODGING or CAMPING:

• Lake Pueblo has several campgrounds within 2 miles of the venue that will be open in early May. Check out reservations here. No overnight parking or camping is allowed in the parking areas along the venue and river downstream.  
• If you're visiting from out of town, Pueblo and Pueblo West has a lot of hotel choices.
