Indoor Triathlon 2026

You don’t have to win, you just have to TRI! Michigan Tech Recreation is hosting an indoor triathlon for MTU students and SDC Access Pass Holders (minimum 3-month)! Unlike a traditional triathlon, which covers fixed distances of swimming, biking, and running, indoor triathlons challenge competitors to race the greatest distance within a fixed time frame. Beginners and seasoned athletes are welcome to participate in the 10 minute swim, 15 minute bike, and 10 minute run!

Wednesday, April 1st

– Open to MTU Students and SDC Members ONLY
– FREE for MTU Students/ SDC Members
