This race is the premier "alternative" triathlon in North Idaho, encompassing mountain biking, kayaking and a run. Allows you to experience a 22 mile mountain bike on magnificent Rathdrum mountain, take in the beauty of upper & lower Twin Lakes on a 5.5 mile kayak, and a trail run of 6 miles back to Rathdrum's bucolic city park. There are events for kids, displays, food vendors, outdoor gear vendors (boats, kayaks, bikes, tents, etc.), and a beer garden.

You can participate as an individual - competing in all 3 legs, or as a team. Should you need assistance in forming a team, we can set you up with others willing to do a different leg of the race.

The day was beautiful, the turnout less than expected, but those competing in the Rathdrum’s Great Adventure Race all seemed to share the common opinion: “great race, I’ll be back next year.”
 

Of the 60-plus registrations on the books at race
time, 37 individuals and two 3-member teams answered
the starter ’s command to: get ready, set, GO!”
 

Followed was a wild sprint to their waiting bicycles for the 20-some mile ride up Rathdrum Mountain and down the other side to their
waiting kayaks and a 5-mile paddle to the second transition
point.

From there, it was a 6-mile run to City Park and the cheers from a host of wellwishers. Winner Adam DeWitt, who recently moved to Coeur d’Alene from Clemson, S.C. said the “race was not too
hard, very comfortable. The 26-year-old veteran of “oh, gosh, many racesjust like this one,” negotiated the ride up the mountain
on his single-speed bicycle, while most other competitors
sported 12-or-more-speed hitech rides.
