From the organizers
The River to Ridge Triathlon is not your typical triathlon. There’s no pool, no road bike, no wetsuit-optional debate. There’s a river, a trail, and a ridge — and you’re going to earn all three.
Set entirely within the Shenandoah River State Park, this off-road tri sends athletes down the South Fork of the Shenandoah by kayak, then back along the river trail on foot, then up into the amazing single track on mountain bike. With a spring and fall edition you can enjoy the best two seasons. Three disciplines. Three completely different landscapes. One unforgettable day.
