WELCOME
IMPORTANT UPDATE for the 2025 BISMAN Triathlon:
Swim Canceled:
Recent water testing has confirmed an unsafe algae bloom at Mcdowell Dam, and the 2025 BISMAN Triathlon will move to a Run/Bike/Run Duathlon format.
THE UPDATED 2025 BISMAN ROUTE:
RUN 1:
Run begins as a mass start out-and-back, coming back into transition area, totaling 4k
​
BIKE:
Bike route remains the exact same, an out-and-back totaling 20k
​
RUN 2:
The second run route circles around the entire park (almost 3k) on grass and pavement and ends at the SCHEELS Finish Line.
​
Everything Else Stays the Same!
We'll see you at packet pickup! Oh, and don't worry. It'll be well-marked and very clear when you get here. And it'll be a party!
*Team Consideration: If you are on a team, we hope your swimmer considers lacing up for the run :) But, it's your team's decision!
**Wait'll you see our race shirts this year.
