The Valley Bottom Rio Trio

About the Event

Alamosa Parks and Recreation will be hosting the 6th annual “Valley Bottom Rio Trio”; an adventure-style triathlon race within the City of Alamosa! This fully chip-timed race will feature an 8-mile trail bike ride, a 3-mile paddle on the Rio Grande, and a 5k+ run. Participants will be given the option of doing all three legs of the race solo or as part of a 3-person relay team. Bring your own boat or rent a kayak or standup paddleboard from us (limited quantities available)! This year's race will take place on the morning of Saturday, June 6th. An outdoor awards ceremony and lunch will be served by local food vendors following the race. This year's event will also be a part of the city's Riofest, which includes live music, craft vendors, food, beer, and an outdoor expo.

A kids' race will be offered on June 7th, 9:30am at Blanca Vista Pond.

About Alamosa

Learn more about the host city, Alamosa.

Alamosa is a small town in south central Colorado, USA. It is noteworthy as the nearest significant town to Great Sand Dunes National Park, a similarly near neighbor of the eastern hub of a superb scenic railroad, and also because during the winter, it frequently records the lowest temperature of the day of any place in the contiguous United States.
