Lake Berryessa provides a gorgeous venue for this triathlon. This is
the estrogen-powered version of the popular Napa Valley Sprint
Triathlon held each May. Now in its seventh year, our all-women's
triathlon has fast become a favorite for first-timers as well as
seasoned triathletes looking for a fun, supportive atmosphere! The
sprint event entails a half-mile swim, 11-mile bike and 3-mile run.
You'll begin your race following a half-mile triangular swim course in
Lake Berryessa at Oak Shores. With water temperatures in Lake Berryessa
hovering in the low-70s, wetsuits are allowed, but not mandatory. Next,
jump on your bike for an out-and-back 11-mile spin along the rolling
hills surrounding Lake Berryessa. Finally, you'll find your running
legs as you head out for the out-and-back 3-mile course over rolling
terrain. The event is limited to 700 participants and sells out months
in advance so don't wait too long to register!
