Emmett's Most Excellent Triathlon
Established in 2001 by local businessman and Ironman, Ken Runyun, Emmett's Most Excellent Triathlon has grown to be one of the best races of its kind in Idaho. Held annually on the first Saturday in August, it is a national championship qualifier with some of the best athletes in the west participating each year.
The tranquil valley of Emmett, Idaho is transformed in to a unique and beautiful race route. Truly a community event, racers will be cheered on and greeted all along the race way. Over 150 community volunteers help to welcome, organize and support this event.
The race, now boasting over 400 entrants, begins at Black Canyon Reservoir. Swimmers take buses from town to the start area.
The next leg is a bicycle ride through the canyon and along the roads on Emmett's verdant farming bench area. The views are spectacular and roads are well manned to assure riders stay on course. At the end of the bike race, participants ride down in to town for the switch at Emmett's Railroad Station and Blaser Park.
