JOIN US FOR ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR SPRINT TRIATHLONS IN THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST!

The BENGAL TRIATHLON is a perfect event for beginners or seasoned racers! The Triathlon consists of a 700-yard pool swim (14 laps or 28 lengths in a 25-yard pool), a 13-mile bike, and a 5K (3.2 mile) run. We also offer a Duathlon option (bike + run only) and a 5K run option.

Our triathlon is a bit different: we conduct the swim portion before the bike and run... and use the swim times to seed the racers' sendoff into T1 (time trial start). We've been doing this for 15+ years... so we have it pretty dialed in. It works GREAT, and it's a perfect race to start your race season. Last year, we had nearly 450 participants... so to accommodate the numbers, we have swim locations spread throughout Idaho. All swims will take place during the week of the race (swim days/times vary by location), but our Pocatello site (swim is on Friday) is the most popular. Triathletes will share the bike and run course with duathletes and 5K runners on Saturday morning (race day).

We have Individual and Relay Team options available for both the triathlon and duathlon races!

This is one of the best-managed races you'll find... with clearly marked bike and run courses and a ridiculous number of volunteers on the course to keep you safe!

This event is managed as a capstone activity for sport management majors at Idaho State University. Your race director is a USA Triathlon Certified Race Director. We focus first on safety... but we also ensure you have a GREAT experience! Did I mention all the race swag?!!! Hoodies and more!!!

We are sorry but we are UNABLE TO OFFER REFUNDS. You are, however, able to transfer your registration to a friend for no additional cost (you can do this yourself on the Active.com site up to three (3) weeks prior to the event. We are unable to guarantee sweatshirts/t-shirts to those who register after the priority deadline - but we will do our very best!

We understand there is a tremendous interest for kids to do this race. Be advised we have STRICT RULES about this, as required by our permits and university. Our course is open to traffic. If you're thinking about registering your kid, please make sure they are physically ready for an adult-sized event! Even then, kids under 14 years old MUST be supervised by a parent/guardian throughout the entire race, including that adult following the child the entire portion of the bike course. This is for THEIR SAFETY and OURS! Thank you for understanding! Also, be advised we do not offer "kids sizes" on race apparel.

Event details and schedule

The POCATELLO swim takes place on Friday (12pm to 8pm) and the bike + run will go on Saturday. Swim times seed the bike+run start. We do have limited space available for satellite swim locations in Idaho Falls, Twin Falls, Lava Hot Springs, Rexburg, and Boise (days/times the week of the race and will be announced after 3/22). Participants who choose one of these locations may incur a separate pool fee (paid directly to facility on day of swim). Everyone is welcome in Pocatello - and your race fee covers that cost. Smitty (your awesome race director) will send out LOTS OF INFORMATION, including a race guide, after March 22. Lots of information also posted regularly on our Facebook page. Course maps and more race information available on our BENGAL TRIATHLON WEBSITE.
