Mountain Lakes Triathlon

Welcome

We are excited to celebrate 36 years of this event in 2023! This race has become a favorite for participants from Beginners to the Elite due to the scenic, fast course, and of course, the infamous tie-dye shirts and awards. The city of Guntersville offers a warm welcome with great community support from local police & emergency management and local volunteer groups, so don't miss this wonderful long-running tradition!

For individuals, the top 35% or top five (5) finishers in an age group (whichever is greater) will qualify. Racers may only qualify for Olympic-distance Nationals by placing in the Olympic distance State Championship race or Sprint Nationals by placing in the sprint distance State Championship race.
