May 18: Xterra Triathlon

Oak Mountain State Park will host a triathlon on May 18. Race organizers encourage anyone in the park to join in on the fun and watch runners cross the finish line.

The full-distance XTERRA championship race is comprised of a 1.5-kilometer swim, 30-kilometer mountain bike and a 10-kilometer trail run. Participants may race as an individual or on a relay team. 

A shorter distance XTERRA Sprint race is also offered. The Sprint race is half the distance as the championship race at 750 meters for the swim, 15-kilometer mountain bike race and a 5-kilometer trail run. 

Park entry fee for adults is $3 per person. To register, visit xterraplanet.com/races/register.cfm.
