Run to Get Lucky
In-person and virtual

Saturday, March 19-21st, 2021 with live Zoom on March 20th.
With the pandemic lingering, we will have a smaller version and virtual option for this event.

COVID Race Information: A St. Patty's Day celebration at Dirt Road Brewing in Philomath, Oregon! That's right, we've moved from our downtown Corvallis location and out to Philomath. This year the race will take place socially distanced style over 3 days. We expect about 10 racers spread out on course at any given time but will allow up to 25 people to start over 30 minutes. You will select your start window during registration. You can pick up your packet and race Friday, Saturday or Sunday afternoon. All courses are out-and-back on low traffic road. There will be no volunteers or traffic control due to the extended timeline required to hold a maximally distanced in-person race during the pandemic. There is also a virtual option for those of you who would like to participate from a far. Our virtual race will have an optional synchronous Zoom start and finish on Saturday morning! Check out all the details on the Race Info and Virtual Race pages.

Best in the West Triathlon Festival
Sweet Home, OR

September 17-19, 2021
If you had to pick one race this year… This. Is. It! Nestled in the foothills of the Cascades and fed by the Santiam River, Foster Reservoir offers premier recreation facilities to the outdoor enthusiast and an excellent location for a triathlon festival. Swimmers are welcomed by end-of-summer water temperatures of a comfortable 70-73F. Miles of low use roads wind through the hills and along the river, providing an exhilarating ride for the cyclist. Following the wooded shoreline, the run course offers relief from the summer sun. To top off your race experience, we put on an awesome post race party! You won’t find cheap, minimal food at the finish line of our race. We put together a huge BBQ with local produce just for you! After you fill up on delicious food, top it off with an ice cold beer or beverage on us, and enjoy the live music and awards ceremony. With a family friendly atmosphere and races for all ages and abilities, you’ll find yourself hanging around for the whole weekend. A large, well kept campground is the final component of the equation for the ultimate triathlon festival. We hope you will join us!

The Best of the West Triathlon Festival aims to promote health and fitness through a weekend of competitive and fun racing while also providing a healthy living expo where participants, volunteers and spectators will learn how to live healthier happier lives. Our goal is to help bring out the best in you!    ​

DNF Duathlon
Your town, Your State - It's virtual
Saturday, October 10th, 10AM to ... Who knows how long it will last!

A FREE, last person standing virtual event. The format is simple. Alternating bike and run, every hour (on the hour) you start a new lap. You can't start early. You can't bank time. You can't finish late. Then the hour hits, you must start your next lap or you are out (DNF)! The bike laps are 10 miles. The run laps are 4 miles. The faster you are, the more rest between laps. Everyone who starts a lap is in first place until they DNF. The race ends when there is only one person left. In order to win, you must do one more lap than any other person. If the last two people DNF on the same lap, no one wins.
