Think warm, be warm We're thinking fun in the sun to kick off the summer. Remember your sunscreen, water, fun shirts and hats. Invite your family to cheer you on or to volunteer! Swim, bike and run with us!

 WELCOME Join us for the third annual Mini HaHa Triathlon designed for recreational athletes looking for a new challenge. This is not the Olympics. You won't see game faces, only smiling faces. Build your self-confidence with this new experience. Register as an individual or get your family and friends to join you as a team. Enjoy our Hawaiian theme; we reward finishers with leis.

DISTANCES Our Mini Triathlon involves swimming, road biking and running in that order. Start by swimming 300 yards (12 lengths) in the Broomfield Rec Center indoor pool. Then bike a 5.5 mile loop twice for a total of 11 miles. Finally, run or walk 2 miles on paths to the finish line!

WARM-UP  On Triathlon Day, the pool and transition area open at 7AM for warm-up and transition set-up. Warm-up and transition areas close at 7:45AM for the race start. Athletes will not be allowed in after 8AM to give all athletes the easiest transition experience possible. Swim heats begin at 8AM and start every 10 minutes thereafter.

BROOMFIELD POLICE AND VOLUNTEERS During the event, the Broomfield Police Department will help at major intersections to ensure the safety of all athletes, pedestrians and drivers. Along the biking course, signs will be posted alerting drivers that an event is taking place and orange cones will help guide the cyclists. Note that all traffic laws must be obeyed and helmets are required.  Volunteers are needed. We will post them at water stations along the biking and running courses. These volunteers will help guide and cheer on the participants in the event. They receive a free t-shirt and an invitation to the volunteer appreciation party at the Bay.
