Event: Triathlon – swim 1/2 mile, bike ~25 miles, run ~5 miles
The Belgrade Lakes Triathlon (“BLT”) is a modified Olympic Distance race, with a shortened swim and run. The swim start, the transition area, and the finish are all located on the stunning waterfront of Camp Runoia, surrounded by log cabins and lush forests. Less than an hour from Portland, the BLT promises to be a celebrated race with its unique setting and exciting course.
Event highlights:
- Swim in beautiful, clean Great Pond – one of the famous Belgrade Lakes
- Transition in Camp Runoia’s large playing field and pretend you are back at summer camp again
- Ride a challenging but fun bike route that circles the lake and goes through downtown Belgrade Lakes - sweeping vistas and fast descents await you
- Run a mostly flat and fast 5 mile lollipop to complete this great race
- Finish back at Camp Runoia, amongst the tall pine trees
- Enjoy a post-race meal (with BLTs of course!) and relax on the waterfront.
- Directions to the Camp are simple and parking is available at or near the race site
- The logistics for the BLT are extremely easy, making it a perfect race for athletes looking to step up from a sprint.
- A concierge service is available to help you help you with whatever you might need. Just ask!

Transition Area: The TA will be open on Race Morning starting approximately 2 hours before the start of the race. You have to show your bike and helmet to Race Staff, who will be checking for bar end plugs, loose headsets, and working brakes. If any of this things are missing, you will not be allowed into the TA. Please have your bike tuned by a professional mechanic before coming to the BLT (we recommend going to Peak Performance in Portland). When leaving the TA after the race, you will need to match your bib number with your bike number in order to take your bike ou.

Please look over the USAT competitive rules - you are responsible for understanding them and abiding by them. They are available at www.usatriathlon.org. We will have USAT Officials on course at Polarbear and there have been penalties assessed in the past.
Weather:
The BLT will not be cancelled for any reason other than severe conditions that pose extreme danger to athletes and volunteers. Race Management reserves the right to alter the course in whatever way they deem is in the best interest of the athletes and volunteers. This includes, but is not limited to, shortening or changing the course, removing one of the sports, postponing the start, etc. There are no refunds in the case of weather-caused changes or cancellations.
