Blue Mountain Canyonlands Triathlon
23rd Annual
Saturday March 1, 2008
Monticello, Utah
Triathletes come from throughout the four corners to test their skills and endurance
against other competitors who have trained for months for this competition. There are
many others who are competing against themselves and gain the satisfaction of completing
the 42 mile trial. Three member teams are also a popular alternative and attract many
people to one of the first endurance events of the year.
This event is unique in respect to most other triathlons. It starts off by replacing
the traditional swimming event with a four mile cross country ski starting at an
elevation of approximately 8400 feet. After the cross country skiing event the
triathlon becomes more traditional as the participants bike for 32 miles and then finish
with a six mile run.
