Taking place in the pristine heart of one of Idaho's prettiest areas, this race takes place in the early summer, when the lush surrounding forest is starting to become very green. Coeur d’Alene is a classic resort and vacation destination that offers numerous recreational activities. The glacier-fed lake, surrounding forests and parks, the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes and the Coeur d’Alene Resort Golf Course’s floating green are just a few examples.

Athletes begin their day with 1.2-mile swim in the clear waters of Lake Coeur d’Alene. The challenging 56 mile bike boasts over 3400ft of elevation gain. The run loops along the shores of the lake blending the energy of a small town resort atmosphere with a world-class course.
