Welcome to the Lake County Recreation Department’s “Tri-It-High” Sprint Triathlon and “Du-It-High” Duathlon. At 10,200 foot elevation, this event could very well be the highest Sprint Triathlon/Duathlon in Colorado if not the United States. Enjoy the majestic Sawatch Mountain Range scenery with the 2 highest peaks in Colorado as a backdrop and prove you have the stamina and endurance to compete in one of the Rocky Mountain’s Ultimate Sprint Triathlon/Duathlons. This event is becoming one of the premier Triathlon/Duathlons in Colorado because of its scenic beauty, breathtaking courses, challenging conditions, and articulate organization.
