A big THANK YOU to all the participants and volunteers that made the event successful this year!
INVASIVE SPECIES ALERT!! JUNE 4, 2022: Because the pristine chain of lakes through which we will paddle after leaving Pike Bay is NOT known to be infested with any invasive species, part of our permitting requires that at the end of Pike Bay all watercraft will have to be tipped and drained of ALL WATER. INSPECTORS WILL BE STATIONED at the take out site. To avoid delays and to move the process along as best we can, we will have a load of chamois there to wipe clean your craft, BUT you are encouraged to bring your own CLEAN DRY towels/rags/chamois to avoid any delays. A considerable percentage of all watercraft that travel the event course over the entire year pass through on the day of our event. We need to be good stewards of the course and surely we do NOT want to be responsible for contaminating any of the lakes along the course.

SATURDAY June 11, 2022:
The Chippewa Triathlon is a unique event that combines canoeing, biking, and running, all through the Chippewa National Forest in Cass Lake, Minnesota. The course follows the centuries-old "Pike Bay Connection". Approximate leg-Distances: 15-mile canoe, 29-mile mountain bike, 5-mile trail run. Final course set right before the race based on wind, recent and forecasted weather, etc.
The Chippewa Triathlon is not solely a competitive event; organizers emphasize its value as a personal challenge and an opportunity to improve one's fitness level through preparatory training. And, you get to see some beautiful country!
The FINE PRINT: In the event we have inclement weather, the event may be delayed or altered. It has never been postponed, but if that happened, the back up day would be the following day.

**If you watch the video, notice all the life jackets!! Once again a reminder that PFDs must be worn from the start of the canoe leg until the first portage at a minimum. Of course wearing a pfd is always a good idea.
