• Description: The Powell3 Triathlon Challenge takes place in the Glen Canyon National Park and swims in Lake Powell at Wahweep - State Line Marina. The swim starts with a few wave starts and in water start. The air and water temperature this time of year averages between 70-75 degrees. The swim is a triangle swim of 750 Meters for the Sprint and the Olympic does this twice for 1500 Meters. Transitioning out of the water you will run up the boat ramp around 400 yards and then ride a 12 Mile Loop around Glen Canyon National Park (twice for the Olympic at 24 Miles). The bike course has a step climb between miles 4 and 6 but it will be worth it because there is a downhill the rest of the way back to transition with views of Lake Powell on the way down. The run course is an out and back running up the East side road. Sprint will turn around at 1.55 Miles for a return trip of 3.1 Miles and Olympic will turn around at 3.1 Miles with the return trip at 6.2 Miles. This course is beautiful and incredibly landscaped.
