Official race websiteWater temperature and wetsuits at XTERRA Branson Mountain Man Off-Road Triathlon
Around September 13, Table Rock Lake typically runs about 82°F at the surface (79 to 84°F across 2011 to 2020). The water usually runs above 78°F at this date: wetsuits are allowed but make you ineligible for age-group awards.
A model estimate from the USGS lake temperature model (daily surface temperatures for US lakes), not a measurement. Wetsuit cutoffs are USA Triathlon age-group rules. The race's own water temperature reading on race morning decides.

How fast is it?
Slower than most US sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2025 sprint triathlon field finished under 2:29:09, against 1:24:26 in a typical US sprint triathlon, so times here run 77 percent slower.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
