Best in the West Triathlon

The Best in the West Triathlon Festival, held at Lewis Creek Park in Foster, Oregon, is a premier multi-sport event set in the scenic foothills of the Cascades near Foster Reservoir. The festival offers a wide range of race distances including Half-Iron, Olympic, Sprint, and Super Sprint triathlons, as well as paddle triathlons, duathlons, aqua bike races, relays, and various standalone runs, swims, and bike rides. The courses feature a swim in Foster Lake, cycling on low-traffic roads through hills and along the Santiam River, and a shaded run along the wooded shoreline.

The event promotes a family-friendly atmosphere with a large campground and concludes with a festive post-race BBQ, live music, and awards ceremony. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
