Paddle distance is approximately 1.6 miles. Then, runners head along the Centennial Trail to the turn around and double back before a short trail run and finish at the Higgens Point Park at the end of the Centennial Trail. Run distance is approximately 4 miles. This is an individual or 2-person team (1 paddler, 1 runner) event. Long Course individual or 3-person team (1 paddler and 2 runners): It will be a paddle-run-paddle-run event. Athletes paddle into Blue Creek Bay to the day use park on the east side, disembark and head
out on the Blue Creek Trail system, doubling back to the day use park, paddle back to Higgens Point, and disembark to run the Centennial Trail to the turn around, and double back to the day use park at Higgens Point. Total distance will be approximately 10 miles. if you choose the team option, there are 2 runners and 1 paddler - one runner runs the first run course, the second runner runs the second run course, and the third person paddles between the two run courses.
Awards will be given for the top 3 men and women for short and long course and top team (short and long course). Participants will also enjoy a post-race event of food and beverages.
Jen loved the outdoors, including running and kayaking. She had cystic fibrosis, but she did not let the disease define her or what she was able to do in life. In February 2019, Jen and her family relocated to the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill to wait for a double lung transplant. She received a set on May 23, but due to cystic fibrosis-related complications, Jen McKenna passed away on June 27, 2019, at the age of 41.

Event Information
Welcome to the Scenic Challenge!
The Coeur d'Alene Triathlon, Duathlon, and Sprint is one of the most scenic races in the Pacific Northwest. This year marks the 42nd year of the race, which will be held Saturday, August 8, 2026
Athletes participating in our traditional Olympic distance (1.5K swim) will board one of the beautiful Coeur d'Alene cruise ships and enter the water out in the bay and swim back to the sandy beach shoreline of one of the city's most iconic parks.
The "Sprint Distance Triathlon" has become a popular staple of our race and will take off from the city park beach one hour after the Olympic race begins. The Scenic Sprint consists of a 500-meter swim, a 13-mile bike ride, and a 3.1-mile (5K) run. The sprint course will have women's and men-specific wave starts to give novice triathletes a sense of confidence and safety.
The bike course follows the shoreline on Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive. For Olympic-distance triathlon and Duathlon riders going the full 40K, the race leads to Mullan Trail Road for a challenging uphill course.
The run courses travel north along the North Idaho Centennial Trail and the Spokane River. There are two turnaround points along the Centennial Trail: the 5K turnaround is in front of the University of Idaho/LCSC Harbor Center, and the 10K turnaround is on the Centennial Trail under the Seltice Way overpass. The course ends at the finish line in Coeur d'Alene City Park at the Triathlon Village adjacent to Lake Coeur d'Alene and City Beach.
Please Note: Late registrations may have limited availability for event shirts.
