Join the Los Alamos Recreation Division Saturday, Aug. 18, as it presents the 38th Annual Los Alamos Triathlon in all its glory.

The 20k bike ride is back to its old course of challenging climbs and beautiful scenery; then jump in the pool (feet first) for a 400 meter swim; and conclude with the 5K run from the Aquatic Center to the First Baptist Church on Diamond Drive and then turning around and running back to the Aquatic Center.

The Los Alamos triathlon was organized by Bill and Maureen Hudson in 1975 and is the longest running continuous triathlon in the country.

Following the event, join the celebration with food, awards, and lots of give-a-ways. 

For those who can’t race this year, volunteers are always needed and they’ll walk away with a great t-shirt and a full stomach.

The triathlon starts at 7 a.m., at the Larry Walkup Aquatic Center.

Fees:

• Elite, Individual, Clydesdale, and Athena, $50.
• Two Person Team, $90.
• Three Person Team, $120.
