5/22/2026 (8:47AM) - 2026 LAKESIDE TRIATHLON POSTPONED

The 2026 Lakeside Double Sprint Triathlon will be postponed. After discussions with several local agencies the likelihood of being able to safely host the event tonight is VERY low. Thus, we are preemptively making the decision to find a new race date in the future. As it is Memorial Day weekend we do not expect to be able to figure out that new date until sometime next week. We will let everyone know the new date then, and we will let everyone know the options for registration.

We hope you all understand this decision as we feel it is the best one for all those involved in the event. We will be in touch...
