This is not your average triathlon. You or your relay team will have a scenic journey to the badlands while you kayak 8.3+ miles, run 3.4+ miles and bike 12.37+ miles through Glendive. At the finish we will have a beer garden, food trucks, live entertainment and vendors to help you celebrate your journey to the badlands and replenish those calories you lost along the way.
