Patoka Lake Triathlon registration opens | Sports & Recreation

Registration is open for individuals 15 and older for the Patoka Lake Triathlon at Patoka Lake beach on Saturday, Aug. 24, starting at 8:30 a.m.

Swim 500 yards in the lake. Bike 12.8 miles along paved roads within the property. Run 5K along groomed gravel roads and a paved bike trail.

Register within the next 30 days for a chance to win a free one-night cabin rental near the Patoka Lake entrance for the night before the race. Visit patokatriathlon.dnr.IN.gov for more information.

All proceeds will support Patoka’s non-releasable raptors—a red-tailed hawk and Eastern screech owl—and also may help save the life of a bald eagle by helping Patoka acquire a non-releasable eagle for its raptor education program.

Those interested in volunteering for or sponsoring the event may contact race director Dana Reckelhoff at (812) 685-2447 or dreckelhoff@dnr.IN.gov.

Current sponsors include Dubois County Visitors Center, Jasper Wal-Mart and Hammer Nutrition.
