This is where your story begins. Welcome to the Black Diamond Triathlon , the official season opener for the 2026 RTB series. Known as "The Opener," this is the moment to stop training and start racing. Raise the Bar is proud to present a full lineup of events: Olympic Triathlon, Olympic Aquabike, Sprint Triathlon, and both Sprint & Olympic Relays. Since 2004, Raise the Bar has managed a world-class multisport team. That passion flows directly into our events, supported by an energetic staff and a crew of over 200 athletes who race and volunteer to ensure every detail is perfect.
