The North Pole Triathlon is an Olympic distance race held in and around Chena Lake Recreation Area. It is an opportunity to swim 1500 meters in some of the best open water in the region and to bike 20K (13 miles) on wide, flat park trails. The 6 mile run will be on a combination of paved and gravel trails within the Chena Lake Recreation Area. Road and/or tri bikes are NOT recommended. The route is mapped on the 'course information' tab. We expect the run course to revert to pre-construction years and be entirely on dirt trails and bike paths. Course maps will be updated in January. Relays are an option. Teams of two or three people may choose any combination of legs. 
Check it out! North Pole Triathlon is included in the USA Triathlon 2025 Cross and Gravel Series. The USA Triathlon Cross & Gravel Series spans the multisport season and features events across the U.S. Qualification is not required to participate in the USA Triathlon Cross & Gravel Series or the USA Triathlon Cross or Gravel National Championships.
