• Morgan’s is the oldest Triathlon of its’ kind, being modeled one year after the first Iron Man Triathlon in Kona, Hawaii in 1979, with the canoe/kayak leg replacing the swim portion. Morgans is the originator of a triathlon that has the paddling component, with many other races being copied after our race.
• The event is made up of 2 person teams; your combined time is used in the results. We also offer an individual/kayak division.
• The kayak division is designed for those who wish to race individually without a partner. Participants in the kayak division can bring their own or use a Morgan kayak. The price is the same.
• First heats for the spring event go out at 8am; for the fall event the first heat is 9am.The 1/2 triathlon heats will begin at 10am this spring and 10:30 in the fall.

We now have a Half Mini Triathlon option!

Walkers are welcome in the Half Triathlon division. 

• Can’t commit to the time it takes to compete in the full triathlon? Want to run with your child or a parent who may not be physically able to endure the full tri? Not sure that you are ready for the full triathlon? Then the 1/2 triathlon is ideal for you! The 1/2 triathlon includes a 3 mile paddle segment, 2 mile run (or walk) and 8 mile bike ride, along with the after-party celebration. Price is the same for either full or 1/2 event. This is a fun race and there will not be awards given, but it will be timed.     Note: There is a division for walkers in the 1/2 Tri too!
