It doesn't matter if you are a serious athlete/ runner or just someone that wants to take in some scenary this race course is a must do.

Exciting NEW race format for 2023.
The Triathlon (1.75m Trail Run/.40m Lake Swim/1.75m Trail Run/12m Road Bike/3m Trail Run)
The Duathlon (3.5m Trail Run/12m Road Bike/3m Trail Run).
**Same great trail runs as the original Survival race just a little different order of stages. Nice lake swim and a not so flat road bike course, just not the double bike leg which I know some of you loved and some of you not so much! **
​
YES there will be BEER at the finish line!
It pays to plan ahead... Make sure to sign up before Race Day.
