  Join us for the third annual Dragon Trails Triathlon! We are excited to invite any adventurous athletes to race this scenic and rugged sprint triathlon course. You will be challenged with a .75K (.46 mile) freshwater swim through Tommy’s Lake, a 20K (12.4 miles) of mixed terrain biking through Bald Mountain, the Polly Ann Trail, and Orion Oaks County Park, and a 5K (3.1 miles) run through the forested trails of Camp Agawam.

  This event is truly one of a kind, and our race organizers are excited to host a limited number of athletes through an intimate and organized open water swimming, mountain biking, and trail running experience. While competitive, we've capped registration at 100 participants to limit chaos and congestion and ensure athlete safety.

  All registrants will receive a swim cap, event shirt, pre run fuel options and on course nutrition, and drink ticket to use in our "Dragons Lair" after the race.

  Maps of the 2025 Dragon Trails Triathlon are included below. 2026 courses coming soon!

  Lace up your running shoes and join us for an inaugural and unforgettable autumn adventure through the scenic trails of Orion Oaks County Park! The Rooted Half Marathon & 5k offers an experience for every skill level, from seasoned trail runners to first-time 5k participants to someone out for a supported hike. Enjoy the stunning fall backdrop as you are immersed in the natural surroundings so lush you would think you are in a northern Michigan forest and not an urban area! The course features well-maintained, multi-use trails that wind through wooded and grassy areas, offering a mix of flat to gently rolling terrain suitable for all abilities.

  Whether you're pushing for a personal best or enjoying a leisurely hike, you'll find the perfect challenge. And you don't have to go it alone—5K runners can sign up for the Doggie Division and bring your leashed dog to share in the fun!

  After you cross the finish line, celebrate your accomplishment with a truly great finisher award that will serve as a memento of your epic fall run.
