Eagle River Triathlon is the 2026 USA Triathlon Alaska State Championship.

The Eagle River Triathlon has a stunning course in Chugiak, Alaska just 20 miles north of Anchorage. Known for its spectacular views, and fun, yet challenging bike course, the Eagle River Tri course is a favorite among racers in Alaska. The State Championship events are the Olympic and Sprint distance triathlons. The duathlon, team relay, and kids' race are alternative race options that do not fall under the banner of state championship.

Olympic Distance Triathlon: In the famous words of a baked goods band; are you going the distance, going for speed, while you're racing and pacing, we are plotting the course! The swim is a split lane 1500M (33laps) in the Chugiak High School pool. The bike course is a 40K (24.8 miles) double out and back roller coaster with all the ups, downs, and fun turns to keep you on your toes! The majestic 10k (6.2 miles) run is sandwiched between the scenic mountain side of the Chugach range and the concrete jungle of the Glenn hwy. You can treat the random honks from the high-speed peanut gallery as moral support as you push every last drop of energy on your way to the finish line.

Sprint Distance Triathlon: The swim will be a split lane 500yd (10laps) in the Chugiak High School pool. The bike course is a 20K (12.4 miles) roller coaster with all the ups, downs, and fun turns to keep things exciting! The majestic 5k (3.1 miles) run is sandwiched between the scenic mountain side of the Chugach range and the concrete jungle of the Glenn hwy. The Sprint Triathlon the High School State Championship for any racers enrolled in high school or with in the 6-month post H.S.

Sprint & Olympic Distance Relay Teams: Grab a friend, slap into a Slim-jim and tag team this event like it's going out of style. Teams of 2 - 3 racers who truly believe sharing is caring is the name of the game. Same distances as the individual events just you don't have to do it all by yourself...yay for friends.

Sprint Duathlon: For those that think water is for the fishes! To get this party started we have a one-mile trail run on the Beach Lake ski trails. The bike course is a 20K (12.4 miles) roller coaster with all the ups, downs, and fun turns to show off your bike handling skills! The majestic 5k (3.1 miles) run is sandwiched between the scenic mountain side of the Chugach range and the concrete jungle of the Glenn hwy.

Kids Race: Nothing makes us happier than seeing the next generation of triathletes out giving it their all. We are giving the kids their very own day. Thanks to Turnagain Training and the support of our generous sponsors to give these kiddos the event they deserve.

New this year! Two Distances:
- Long Course 300 yard swim (6 laps) / 2-mile bike (4laps) / ~ 1.2 mile run (2 laps)
- Short Course 50 yard swim (1 lap) / 1 mile bike (2laps) / ~.6 mile run (1 lap)
Donate:

A.B.A.T.E. supports the Eagle River Triathlon by providing all volunteers and motorcycle support on the bike course.

Turnagain Training kids triathlon camps is geared towards kids having fun while participating in biking, swimming and running through out the week. Camp goes Monday through Friday 12-4pm daily. On Monday/Wednesday/Friday, campers will meet in the lower stadium parking lot of Kincaid Park. On Tuesday/Thursday we will be at Service High to accommodate swimming, playing games and sneak in some fun running activities. Camp is focused on biking skills (shifting, cornering, biking up hills successfully, etc.), running games and activities, swimming instruction & pool games, transition practice & tons more fun games! We will have a 30minute snack time, allowing kids to have some down time (kids bring their own snacks and water), where we talk about different topics within triathlon like what to pack for a race, how to get to the Olympics or what the top 10 things you would want if you were a triathlete. This camp is geared towards kids that love biking, running and swimming but haven't yet put it

all together. It is OK if your child does not know how to swim, we will have life jackets available and life guards if we have swimming sessions. Swimming will be optional if we bike to a lake, with other activity options for kids not comfortable with swimming. All kids must be able to ride a bike confidently and enjoy biking and running, we look forward to helping kids gain better skills but kids must have the desire to want to get better. Ideally, kids would have bikes with gears to learn how to shift. This camp is not meant for a 6yr that is still on training wheels, but we plan to have a few new-to-biking 101 clinics this year for little ones looking to transition to biking on their own!

What's included in triathlon camp:

-1wk of triathlon camp that is fun, outdoors and lead by passionate triathletes

-Turnagain Training triathlete in training synthetic bike jersey
- Triathlete swag bag
-Mini duathlon race on Friday

-Ice cream on Friday after the race!

Campers need to have the basic fundamentals of biking without training wheels. Ideally, your child would have a bike with gears too so they can practice shifting and are able to successfully make it up a hill. IF you don't have a bike with gears, ask a friend or neighbor if you can borrow their bike for the week, kids learn FAST how to ride on another persons bike. All of our running is short, geared to fun, creative ways so that the kids do not realize they're running long, think scavenger hunt, checklists, etc. Lastly, we do A LOT of transition practice so that kids are able to put their shoes and socks on on their own come race day without a parents help (YES, THEY CAN!!).

WE HAVE A 50% REFUND POLICY UNTIL 4/15/2025. AFTER 4/15/2025, THERE IS NO REFUNDS FOR THIS CAMP, NO EXCEPTIONS. WE DO NOT ALLOW CAMPERS TO SWAP OUT THEIR REGISTRATION WITH ANOTHER CAMPER IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO MAKE IT, PER OUR USA TRIATHLON INSURANCE. BY SIGNING THE AGREEMENT POLICY YOU AGREE TO UNDERSTAND THIS RULE.
