Polson Triathlon
Come experience the thrill of the Polson Triathlon by cheering on participants on Saturday, August 17 starting at 8:30 am at Riverside Park. A swim starting right below the bridge kicks off the event, with women racers starting first and the men will try to chase them down from 20 minutes back. The participants will then bike out on the Valley View Roads before returning for a run around the community of Polson, and finish on 3rd Avenue West in front of the Cove Deli. Will there be another photo-finish this year? Be sure to come see for yourself and enjoy this spectacular event! For more information visit polsontriathlon.com.
