Swim, bike, run: Spots still open for Lake Tye Triathlon

The 15th-annual Monroe-based endurance event takes place Saturday.

Not only is there the triathlon in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, there’s also an event in Monroe.

The 15th-annual Lake Tye Triathlon starts at 8 a.m. Saturday at Lake Tye Park.

The USA Triathlon-sanctioned event includes various age- and weight-protected categories: sprint, sprint relay, sprint Athena/Clydesdale, Olympic, Olympic relay, Olympic Athena/Clydesdale, aquabike-sprint, aquabike-Olympic, youth and duathlon.

There are three distances: sprint (1/4-mile swim, 14-mile bike and 3.1-mile run), Olympic (1,500-meter swim, 27-mile bike and 6.2-mile run) and duathlon (1.5-mile run, 14-mile bike and 3.1-mile run).

Swimmers start from the beach and go north before making a counterclockwise loop around the buoys and swimming back to shore.

Bikers exit the park and travel south on Frelands Boulevard for less than a mile before making a right turn and going west on Old Snohomish Monroe Road followed by a left turn onto Treosti Road and continuing on 115th. They will reach a turn-around marker and travel back the same way they came. This will be done once for the sprint distance and twice for the Olympic distance.

Runners exit the park and travel counterclockwise around Lake Tye for the first portion. As they return to the transition area, they’ll continue south behind the school, exiting onto the paved trail. They’ll then go south on the trail until they reach a turn-around marker and then run back to the lake. This will be done twice for the Olympic distance.

The cost is $89 for the sprint triathlon/aquabike, $99 for the Olympic triathlon/aquabike, $159 for the sprint relay, $169 for the Olympic relay and $89 for the duathlon sprint.

Top finishers will receive medals, but everyone will get a pancake breakfast at the end.

Registration closes Wednesday at midnight. Visit laketyetri.com for more information.
