*** If there are any issues with your timing results please let us know right away at registration@blackbuttetriathlon.com. It was an very hard day and we do know that there has been some discrepancies ***
As we continually strive to ensure we put on an exceptional race and safe environment for all our athletes we will are moving the Sprint Distance to Sunday April 11th. In conjunction with Tehama County we decided as we could not have full road closures for both Saturday and Sunday that it was best to move the Sprint Distance to a Sunday event.
This will not impact the Olympic event as we will be staggering the starts to ensure that everyone is as safe as can be. More information to come as we will be posting the weekends agenda by March 20th. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us directly at registration@blackbuttetriathlon or call us directly at 650-862-3147. We are sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused.

Course Information
Swim 800 meter
The glassy water of Black Butte Lake provides fast splits in and out of Buckhorn Boat Dock. The swim length will be a simple out and back from the dock providing a wonderful spectator show. There will also be lifeguards providing water safety along the swim course. The water temperature historically is around the mid to low 60’s. Though with the El Nino in full swing the tempatures can swing in either direction.
Wetsuit Rentals: If you are new to the sport of triathlon and are concerned about the water temp please check out our new sponsor WetsuitRental.com. If you need any equipment or advice, please don’t hesitate to call Kristina at 360-297-1818 or email kristina@wetsuitrental.com. They are happy to help any way they can. Best of luck in your training!
Bike Course 15 miles:
After a quick transition out of the swim, the bike course offers a mellow ride out of the campgrounds. Take in the beautiful scenery as you whip through the quick out and back bike course.
The course will exit the campgrounds and go east on Newville Road. The riders will make a left on to Black Butte Road heading North. Once the riders accelerate through some quick rollers they will be cruising along a super wide road to the turn around. The quick ride back to the campgrounds will allow riders to make up lost ground!

Run 3.1 Miles
All of this madness wraps up on a looped trail run through the rolling green hills of the campground. After running through the sprawling green fields, you will begin your descent to the lake for a flat, fast, dockside finish.
Don’t forget to catch your breath and party down with your friends at our “T3 After Party”! Whether you decide to camp for the weekend or stay in the local towns of Chico or Corning you are assured to have a great weekend!
