Come and race at the most beautiful triathlon venue in Northwest Arkansas! Mount Sequoyah offers incredible views and lots of shade. We will start in a heated, outdoor pool, followed by a scenic but challenging loop around the top of the mountain before finishing on a paved flat run course that will take you across the finish line with some additional fun waiting for racers.

Join us at the Mount Sequoyah Triathlon, a unique event designed for children aged 5-15 and their parents. Experience the thrill of a triathlon in a fun and safe environment.
