Sourdough Triathlon - Fairbanks, Alaska - Triathlon

The Sourdough Triathlon is a Triathlon race in Fairbanks, Alaska consisting of a Half Ironman.

It has been a stable race throughout the state of Alaska and we hope to keep it that way. The Sourdough also happens to be the only half Ironman distance (70.3m) in the state of Alaska. The race is located in Chatanika Alaska which is about 40-45 mins northeast of Fairbanks located at mile post 33.5 of the Steese Highway. It's a low key area with minimal traffic and plenty of wide open spaces. The staging/transition area of the race will all be in the same location. As a heads up, the transition area is gravel so you will want to use a blanket or large towel to set your stuff on. We will have the area cleared to hopefully reduce the number of mosquitoes and to allow people to park their cars and to camp out. We will have port-a-potties set up for people to use. Sticking to tradition there will be a BBQ after the race so we are asking all participants to bring a dish to share and to hang around to get to know others in the triathlon community.
