Ugly Dog Triathlon

The Ugly Dog Triathlon, held in Grass Lake, Michigan, is a beginner-friendly multisport event featuring Sprint and Super Sprint distances in triathlon, duathlon, aquabike, and relay formats. The 2025 edition has removed Olympic distance races to focus on accessibility and safety, including a modified bike course for a better experience. The event emphasizes athlete support with a Risk-Free Racing policy offering refunds or vouchers, high-quality finisher medals, custom participant shirts, and excellent finish line food.

Known for a safe swim with ample lifeguards and a welcoming atmosphere, it is a professionally produced race ideal for newcomers and families, set in a popular West Michigan vacation area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
