Plan to arrive in Kenai well before the 7:30 AM start on June 26, keeping in mind Alaska's early summer daylight. Tri Nikiski takes place at 55525 Poolside Ave, offering a straightforward triathlon experience in a small-town setting. Entry fees range from $25 to $60 depending on your registration category. If you're traveling from out of state, note that Kenai sits on the Kenai Peninsula, roughly two hours south of Anchorage by car, so factor in travel time from the airport or your accommodation. Early morning start times mean getting to the venue with time for parking, body marking, and a final gear check before the gun goes off. Local hotel options near the venue will be essential for avoiding a pre-dawn rush on race morning.

The bike course will be mostly gravel. Please have your kids plan accordingly. The run will be the same course as last year, except backwards. Therefore, they won’t be running up that big hill towards the end, they will instead be running down it. Please check our Facebook page for a picture of the route.
