#GetUpandGo

The Kinetic Triathlon Festival features the Mid-Atlantic’s first Long Course race of the season along with an Olympic on Saturday and a Sprint on Sunday. Staged out of beautiful Lake Anna State Park, this race features a sandy beach start, a crisp (mid 60’s) freshwater swim, rolling country roads for the bike and a run course that stays completely within the State Park. The race is amazing for so many reasons, but the best part is the park itself. Banked stadium style seating overlooks the swim start/finish, run course and finish line. Bring the family as the park features miles of trails, a playground, swimming beach and visitors center featuring a “gold mine”. Outside the park you can relax post race at the Lake Anna Winery or the Coyote Hole Cider Works. Be sure to race with friends and make some new ones at the Kinetic Triathlon Festival!

Triathlon is seen as a niche sport for elite athletes competing at a high level. At the Fawn Lake Triathlon, we like to think that paradigm can be expanded. Imagine an event that sees three generations of a family competing on one day. Add to that, the entire Fawn Lake Community shows up! In 2025 we had 130 volunteers on the course, ensuring safety and supporting the athletes.

Finally, you will never find a better course on which to compete. You will get a pristine lake, gentle rolling hill ride on traffic-free roads and a fast, shady run course. If you want the perfect triathlon as a 1st timer or experienced racer, “Tri” Fawn Lake!
