Escape the summer city heat and head for the mountains! Join us at Rocky Gap State Park in
Flintstone, MD for the 22nd annual Rocky Gap Off-Road Triathlon, Duathlon, and Relay.
The triathlon race course starts with a two lap swim in warm clear waters of a mountain lake and the duathlon starts with a 2.7 mile semi-technical trail run. After the first segment, all racers head out to complete two laps of a mountain bike course that includes twisty lakeside singletrack, wide fire roads, smooth grassy sections, and a few rock gardens. Once completing the mountain bike course, racers transition to a 5.5 mile run that has rooty trails, smooth open flats, and a few ups and downs (of course!). All in all, this course is super fun and has challenged thousands of newbies and seasoned vets over the years!

This is a first year event and if you've been to Margraff you know parking is limited. For these reasons we are limiting participants to 100. The minimum age to participate as a racer is 12 years of
age the day of the event.
Carpooling is encouraged and please. “take your time” driving up Fratz Road to the race site- the road is narrow, and we don't want to piss off the residents who live on the road. On the way up the hill check out the cool container home on the right.
Don't believe AI – generally there are not bathrooms at the trailhead, but we plan to have Porta potties!
For more information on the race go to Race Event Page. Any additional questions email @ [email protected]
Volunteers- we want you- race schwag, the opportunity to spend time in the woods w snacks, fluids and more!!
