Description

Welcome to the beautiful lakeside community of Cassadaga, NY.   Just off of I-90, one hour south of Buffalo, NY and 1 hour north of Erie, PA.  Join us for a triathlon we think you will find challenging and a whole lot of fun!  Great for individuals and relay teams.

KBR ~KAYAK, BIKE, RUN.

This event is for you if you love to have fun and enjoy the beauty of the outdoors on a Saturday morning in September in Western NY.

 1 mile kayak, 13 mile bike, and 2 mile run.

Categories for SUP users as well as E-Bike users.  These are separate categories and do not compete with the overall or age groupers.  

 Using the same bike and run courses as the Southern Tier Triathlon Club Summer Tri Series, you will see why they are starting to call Cassadaga the new mecca for triathletes.  Paratriathletes are welcome!  This event is NOT sanctioned by USAT.

***Please see the FAQ section regarding bringing dogs to this race.
 

 

KAYAK COURSE

We all start in the water, lined up and ready to loop the lake along the perimeter for this fun kayak portion of the race that is one mile in length.

Any kayak is acceptable for this event.

 With "kayak pullers" ready to pull your craft out of the water as you zoom back to the beach your feet will stay “mostly" dry as you run up to transition.

BIKE COURSE

It’s hilly, really fun and a great challenge for every level rider.  

The 13 mile course is all right-hand turns.   

There are no aid stations on the bike course.  There will be one in transition.

RUN COURSE

The 2 mile run begins as you run out of transition.  

Running along the lake, the course is mostly flat with one little “bump” continue to the turn-around point and head back the same way to the finish line. 

Stocked aid station in transition and at the turn-around point with Hammer Nutrition products and water.

This is the same course that we use for the STTC Summer Tri Series.
