About the event

ADVENTURE TRIATHLON
Barkcamp State Park | Belmont, Ohio

TWO WAYS TO START. ONE GREAT ADVENTURE!
KAYAK–BIKE–RUN or SWIM–BIKE–RUN

Looking for a triathlon with a little more adventure? Trade the pavement for scenic trails and experience a unique off-road challenge at beautiful Barkcamp State Park in Belmont, Ohio!

Whether you're an experienced multisport athlete or looking to try something new, this event brings together outdoor adventure, friendly competition, and a great cause.

Race for a Reason! This event proudly supports the Underground Railroad Museum in Flushing, Ohio, helping preserve and share an important part of American history.

EXPERIENCE THE COURSE
KAYAK OR SWIM — YOUR CHOICE!

Start your adventure on the scenic waters of Barkcamp State Park! Choose between a 500-meter open-water swim or a 1,500-meter kayak paddle before heading out on the bike course.

  • 🛶 KAYAK — 1,500 METERS

           Enjoy a scenic paddle across the lake. All kayak participants must bring their own kayak, paddle, and properly fitted life jacket.

🏊 SWIM — 500 METERS

          Take on a 500-meter open-water swim in the beautiful waters of Barkcamp Lake. Bring your swim goggles and get ready to make a                  splash! Flotation devices, flotation belts, fins, and other swimming aids are not permitted.

  • BIKE — 8 MILES OF OFF-ROAD FUN!
    Leave the pavement behind and enjoy an 8-mile ride on hard-packed trails featuring natural terrain, elevation changes, and potentially muddy sections.  Mountain bikes or other off-road-capable bikes are strongly recommended. Road bikes are not suitable for this course. All participants must wear a properly fastened bicycle helmet.
  • RUN — FINISH STRONG ON THE TRAILS!
    Complete your adventure with a scenic 5K trail run through Barkcamp State Park. Enjoy the natural surroundings, embrace the challenge, and celebrate your finish!

SHARE THE ADVENTURE — RELAY TEAMS WELCOME!
Don't want to tackle all three segments yourself? Grab a friend or two and compete as a 2- or 3-person relay team!

How Relay Registration Works:

  • The first team member registers, creates and names the relay team, and pays the full team entry fee.
    Additional team members register and join the existing team.
    No additional registration fee is charged to the remaining team members.
    It's a great opportunity for friends, families, and teammates to share the adventure!

AWARDS & RECOGNITION
Awards will be presented to the Top Overall Male and Female Finishers in each individual race:

  • Kayak–Bike–Run: 1st Overall Male & Female
  • Swim–Bike–Run: 1st Overall Male & Female


MORE THAN A RACE — AN ADVENTURE WITH PURPOSE!  Challenge yourself, explore the outdoors, and support the important work of the Underground Railroad Museum.
