Saluki Triathlon & Duathlon

The Saluki Triathlon & Duathlon, held in Carbondale, Illinois, is a sprint-distance event hosted by SIU Recreational Sports and Services. The triathlon features a 0.2-mile swim in SIU Campus Lake, a 5-mile bike ride around the south and west sides of campus, and a 2-mile run on the campus lake trail. The duathlon offers a scenic 9-mile course combining running and cycling around campus, ideal for those who prefer not to swim.

Open to individuals and teams aged 12 and up for the triathlon, and all ages for the duathlon—with free registration for children eight and under—the event emphasizes a welcoming atmosphere on a beautiful campus setting. Participants must bring their own bikes. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
