Coeur d' Alene Triathlon 2025 The Scenic Challenge

Welcome to the Scenic Challenge! The Coeur d'Alene Triathlon, Duathlon and Sprint is one of the most scenic races in the Pacific Northwest. This year marks our 40th anniversary of the race which will be held Saturday, August 9, 2025.

Event Details

Athletes participating in our traditional Olympic distance (1.5K swim) will board one of the beautiful Coeur d'Alene cruise ships and enter the water out in the bay and swim back to the sandy beach shoreline of one of the city's most iconic parks. The 'Sprint Distance Triathlon' has become a popular staple of our race and will take off from the city park beach one hour after the Olympic race begins.

The Scenic Sprint consists of a 500-meter swim, a 13-mile bike ride, and a 3.1-mile (5K) run. The sprint course will have women and men-specific wave starts to give novice triathletes a sense of confidence and safety. The bike courses follows the shoreline on Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive.
