Cedar Lake Triathlon Summer 2026 Season - Race #1

This is the first of our 6 race summer series held every other Thursday night at Cedar Lake for local, grassroots racing at its best.

For 2026, we will offer two races:

Individual and Relay Sprint Triathlon: Our individual and relay sprint triathlons consists of a 500(ish) yard lake swim, a 10 mile bike, and a 5k road run. They are perfect races for first timers who want to see what they can achieve, experienced triathletes looking to fine tune for a longer fall race, or anyone who just wants an active, family summer Thursday evening. We have awards for both the fast and the first (timers), and lots for those in between. Relay teams are welcome and celebrated. Wetsuits are encouraged when the water temperature is below 80 degrees, and strongly encouraged for at least the first two races. Aqua jogging is not permitted.

Super Sprint Triathlon: Returning for its second season is our popular super sprint race: all of the triathlon experience just in a smaller package! The super sprint consists of a 200(ish) yard swim, a 5mile bike, and a 1 mile run. First timers love this race: you can start your Thursday as a regular human, finish it as a Triathlete, and let us share the joy of your success with special prizes (and a whole lot of positive energy!!). Younger races are welcome, but you have to be 13 to toe the line. And we love families. If your child is racing, you can race with them for free as long as you accompany them for the entire race. Swim, bike and run with your child; it's a priceless family experience.

Gun Times:

• Super Sprint: 6:10 p.m

• Individual / Relay Sprint: 6:15 p.m.

Preregistration: Racers must preregister. Register early to secure both a spot and a lower entry fee, which will increase on race day. Last season, the races sold out several times and once we hit our cap, we can't accept any more entries.

Online registration will close at 5:00 p.m. on each race day. There will be no onsite registration this year.

Race day check in starts at 5:00 p.m. and all registered racers must be checked in by 5:45 p.m.

First Time? Come on down to Cedar Lake!! We love first timers and a significant part of our weekly field of racers are athletes getting their feet wet for the first time. In transition, you will see every type of bike racked and ready to race: from expensive carbon TT bikes headed for an Ironman to hybrid bikes and even the occasional beach cruiser. Not sure you can do a triathlon? Finding out is half the fun. Over 95% of our racers finish each week. We don't use cutoff times, except for later in the season as the sun starts to set earlier (typically the last race or two). Not sure exactly how it works? We have lots of friendly experienced volunteers and even a certified tri coach on site on race days to explain the mysteries of buoy turns, transition and equipment. Before you race, be sure that you can swim 20 pool lengths without stopping for the full sprint, or 10 pool lengths for the super sprint. Aqua jogging is not permitted.

Come join us this summer!

Inclement Weather: In the event of inclement weather on race day, the race organizers reserve the right to change the race to a duathlon, a 5K or cancel the race.

The Belltown Spring Sprint is now a 2 Mile Run and Walk and a Kids Fun Run to benefit East Hampton High School Project Graduation. The 2 Mile course takes you through the neighborhoods surrounding the high school. (No cross-country trails or hills this year). Volunteers will be positioned at every turn to keep participants on course. The Kids Run will be entirely on the high school track.

Each year Project Graduation provides approximately 100 to 125 graduates with a fun, safe, drug and alcohol-free night that they will remember for years to come. The event is hosted at a safe location with plenty of food, fun and a wide variety of activities and entertainment for the students to enjoy. Since the first celebration held for the graduating seniors in the class of 2009, we have been able to provide the event free of charge. Our goal is to continue providing the post-graduation party free of charge as we believe that cost shouldn’t be a barrier to keeping our graduates safe and enjoying their significant accomplishment.

Free Pair of Socks for first 100 registered 2Mile participants. ONSITE REGISTRATION WILL BE AVAILABLE THE DAY OF THE RACE!

The Lake T Sprint Series has been the first race for many Iron Distance Triathletes. In its 25th year, this race continues to be the stepping stone for so many triathletes to get to the next level. Racks are first come, first serve, waves are male/female, and there is a relay division as well.

The 600 yard lake swim is followed by a 2 loop bike course with rolling hills. The 5K run is a beautiful course around the lake which has a few small inclines and downhill the last mile. Aid is available on the run at the town hall section.

**PLUS we offer a Super Sprint race for those looking to test the waters of triathlon! This will be a 200 yard swim, 5.5 mile bike (one loop) & 1.7 mile run.
