Have you tried out (possibly) the Metro's only off-road triathlon?  The Kingswood Off-Road Triathlon will take place on Saturday, August 21st at Little Long Lake in Minnetrista, MN.  The race consists of a 0.5 mile swim, a 12 mile mountain bike, and a 4 mile trail run.  They have plenty spots open yet for this year in both the "individual" and "relay" categories.  Check out photos from last year's race below in the slideshow.

THE COURSE:

Swim
-The 1/2 mile swim will take place in beautiful Little Long Lake. The lake is clean and well protected from heavy winds.  Be ready for the short trail run from the beach to transition.

Transition will have water and Heed available for all competitors.

Bike
