Sunday, Jul 13, 2025 at 7:00am

Upper Lake Mary Boat Launch and Picnic Area

Mountain Man Triathlons started in 1984 and are one of the longest standing triathlons in the West. This local race has that good old hometown feel. Beautiful views of the San Francisco Peaks, Lake Mary, and Mormon Lake. Flagstaff has amazing summer weather, that is cool, clean and green with flora in full bloom. This event includes medals and t-shirts for all finishers, awards, food, fun, and a great course. It is one of the most beautiful courses in the West, and we work hard to make sure that you can enjoy race day.
