EVENT INFORMATION
The original Platte River Fitness Series event! Challenge yourself with the sport of triathlon by conquering the swim, bike, and run — or work together with your friends to complete the event as a relay. *Please be aware that the North Platte Rec Center is under construction with the possibility that the pool may be affected. Please continue to watch for updates. If the pool is not available, a duathlon will be held instead of a triathlon.
Individuals are encouraged to learn to swim, but water walking will be allowed in the kids, individual, and relay divisions. Any style of bike is acceptable, but bike helmet is mandatory.
