How far do I swim, bike and run? Our Mini Triathlon involves swimming, road biking and running in that order. Participants will start by swimming 300 yards (12 lengths) in the Community Center indoor pool. Participants will then bike a 5.5 mile loop twice for a total of 11 miles. Finally, participants will run or walk 2 miles on paths through neighborhoods to the finish line at the Bay Aquatic Park.

When do I get my shirt and bib? An informational meeting will be held Wednesday, June 4th from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Packet pickup follows. Packet pickup will follow and continue through Saturday, June 7th (See Community Center Hours.) All participants receive a t-shirt and 2 free tickets that can be used at The Bay the day of the Triathlon. The Bay will open at 10:00 a.m.

Can I pick up my packet on race day? Yep! Information, heating, and late packet pick up will be held in the gymnasium inside the Community Center the day of the event.

Do I get a warm-up? On Triathlon Day, the pool and transition area will open at 6:30 a.m. for warm-up and transition area set-up. The warm-up and transition area will close at 7:15 a.m. for the race start. Athletes will not be allowed into the transition area after 7:30 a.m. in order to give all athletes the easiest transition experience possible. Swimming heats will begin at 7:30 a.m. and will start every 10 minutes thereafter.

Why do I have to give my swim time? For the Mini Haha event, swimmers will be heated fastest to slowest according to your estimated swim time entered on your registration form. Click here for more info.

Broomfield Police help at major intersections to ensure the safety of athletes, drivers and pedestrians. Signs are posted along the course alerting drivers of the event and cones guide the cyclists. All traffic laws must be obeyed and helmets are required. Volunteers are needed at water stations to help guide and cheer on participants. They receive a t-shirt and Bay entry.

Will I get an award? Awards are presented to the first 3 finishers in each age group (14-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-40, 40-44, 45-50, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64 and 65+) for both men and women at The Bay after all participants have finished.
