Premier Triathlons on the east coast, offering exceptional quality and value

The Rumpus in Bumpass Triathlon Festival!

Hosted in the newly renovated Pleasants Landing Marina at Lake Anna, this race and venue are amazing. The swim lakes place in the southeast portion of Lake Anna, about 1/4 mile from where the “hot side” of Lake Anna empties into the cold side, resulting in water temperatures that are 4-6 degree’s warmer than the rest of the lake at this time of year. So, you  can look forward to above average water temperatures in late April. The first open water race of the regular season starts at 9AM, so you can sleep in a little and make it a day at the lake with family and friends.

Views of Lake Anna and the Blue Ridge Mountains give this race a magical feel, it’s a great place to race and spend the weekend outside.  Be sure to watch our Rumpus in Bumpass Preview, then sign up below.

Rumpus in Bumpass Olympic

Saturday, April 21, 2018 at 9am
Triathlon:  1,500 Meter Swim (Lake); 24 Mile Bike (Flat); 10K Run (Flat)
Aquabike: 1,500 Meter Swim (Lake); 24 Mile bike (Flat)
Course Details

Swim Course: The 1500 meter swim begins with an in water start on the south side of the transition area.  Athletes will swim a triangular shaped course and exit the water on the north side of transition.  The course will have 2 right turns and sighting buoys will be located approximately every 75 meters. We expect the water at this time of year and at this section of the lake to be in the mid 60′s due to the unique location of the race site.  A temperature reading will be taken and posted the Thursday prior to the event.  The swim is as spectator friendly as it gets, family and friends can walk around the peninsula and “follow” their athlete through the swim course.

Bike Course: The Olympic bike course is a 2 loop, 23 mile, rolling course on great pavement.  Consisting of mostly right turns the course has an energizing mix of terrain and terrific views as you ride around and across the lake.   This is a beautiful course and a lot of fun to ride, plus Olympic athletes go right by the marina gate to start their 2nd loop. Please note that with the exception of emergency vehicles, no traffic will be allowed on the marina entrance road during the cycling portion of the event.  All late arriving cars will be directed to the off site parking (1/4 mile away).

Run Course: The Olympic run course is a 2 loop, out and back course.  The run course leaves transition and goes through a short section of woods and gravel road to meet the main road.  Athletes then run out and back on a closed course.  The out and back section is paved and lightly rolling as you run by fields, forest and the South Anna River.  Athletes starting their second loop turnaround on the gravel road just prior to entering the woods, athletes finishing their second lap proceed through the woods to then finish adjacent to the transition area.
