Root River Triathlon

This “doable”, non-swimming triathlon is set in the Root River valley in scenic Bluff Country. Participation is open to men and women of every age. Guardian consent is required for racers 17 and younger. 

Participants begin by canoeing or kayaking 6.8 miles down river from Houston to Mound Prairie. Then they hop on their bikes for an 7.9 mile road-ride back to Houston. Some hills  “en-route” are challenging and demand an extra effort.  The race wraps up with a 3 mile, fairly level run, starting on the Root River trail and then through the streets of Houston. 

There are several ways for you to join in on the FUN!
