The Culpeper Triathlon is staged out of Mountain Run Lake Park at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the heart of Virginia horse country. The race will start with a in water swim in Mountain Run Lake. The transition area and finish line are located in the spillway and Mountain Run Lake. Rolling out of T1 athletes will have a challenging bike course with good pavement, low traffic and lots of turns.  It’s not a PR bike course, but it is a a lot of fun!

Sprint athletes will do one (1) loop of the run while Olympic athletes will do two (2) laps.

Culpeper Olympic Triathlon

Saturday, July 31, 2021 at 7:30am
Triathlon: 1.5K Swim (Lake); 24 Mile Bike (Rolling); 10K Run (Rolling)
Aquabike: 1.5K Swim (Lake); 24 Mile Bike (Rolling)
Course Details & Course Maps

The race takes place at Mountain Run Lake Park nestled at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Swim Course:  The Olympic swim course is a one loop 1.5K course and exits into a very unique transition area that is the Culpeper Triathlon. The transition area and finish line are in a bowl surrounded by banked seating on either side. The course will have yellow buoys for the turns and orange sighting buoys every 75 meters or so. We expect the water at this time of year to be around 80-82F, so it is not likely to be wetsuit legal. A temperature reading will be taken and posted the Friday morning prior to the event. The water temperature in 2015-83, 2016-84, 2017-82, 2018-No Swim.

Bike Course: The Olympic bike course is a beautiful, but challenging course. The ride is mainly on well paved, low traffic roads with views of beautiful farmland and the Blue Ridge Mountains throughout. You’ll see plenty of wildlife and maybe even a black bear on your travels through the countryside. This is not a PR course as it has a few short, steep climbs and technical descents. Even with the technical sections, it still has plenty of beautiful straightaways to get in your big ring and go aero. Please note, at Mile 7 the Olympic Bike course turns left on Duncan Trail while Sprint athletes will stay straight on Reva.  Lastly, be sure to gear appropriately for the first turn out of the park and the approach back to the dismount line!

Run Course: The Olympic run course is a 2 loop, out and back course. The run course leaves transition on Mountain Run Lake Road and has 2 loops down local side roads (Montelago and Mountain Run Lane) to get the appropriate distance. The run is not unlike the bike course in that it is not flat, but it is a lot of fun and the views of the lake and race site framed against the Blue Ridge Mountains are amazing. Aid stations are located about every mile and will offer ice water and Gatorade.
