What is the Kuparisaari Triathlon?


Join us in 2010 for the inaugural Kuparisaari Triathlon, the only half iron distance triathlon in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Enjoy the calm, inland waters of Lac La Belle for a 1.2mile swim. Climb the rolling hills of the Keweenaw on the 56 mile, single lap bike course, and take in the beautiful views from the shoreline of Lake Superior during the half marathon run. This race will be a challenge even for experienced triathletes, but offers treasures unlike any other race you’ve done. 

The Kuparisaari Triathlon will take place on August 15, 2010. Enjoy the low-traffic, laid-back lifestyle of the Upper Peninsula for this action-packed race! Age group prize awards of locally made, hand-crafted prizes will be issued after the event. All athletes will receive a custom race shirt and finisher’s award. Food, including freshly baked pasties, will be available at the finish line.

I just heard about this race, and think it sounds AWESOME! We were planning to come to the UP about that time as a family, and when I saw this, I thought, "OH YEAH!" I think/hope we can make it, but I'm already looking forward to it...
