Plutonium Man Triathlon

The Plutonium Man Triathlon, held in Richland, Washington at WSU Tri-Cities, offers Olympic and sprint distance races along with Olympic distance relay team options. The Olympic triathlon features a 1.3 km swim in the Columbia River, a 40 km bike ride, and a 10 km run, while the sprint distance includes the same swim, a 20 km bike, and a 5 km run. The swim course benefits from a downstream current, and the bike and run courses include loops through local roads and the WSU campus.

The event emphasizes safety with cut-off times and uses chip timing. Awards are given for top finishers and age groups, and all finishers receive medals and hats. Registration is online only with a participant limit. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
