About the Race
The Bozeman Triathlon is back again with the plan to continue the success. The race directors plan to have a family-friendly, hometown race that attracts athletes who race to win and also who race for fun. Relative to COVID-19, there will be updates about status of spectators on race day. There are many options to choose from on race day with the Individual Olympic and Sprint race distances serving as the USA Triathlon Montana State Championship and we will also host the USA Triathlon Montana State High School Championship. There will also be Aquabike and Aquathlon options as well.
