The Lake Minnetonka Triathlon returns at 7 a.m. June 21 at Excelsior Commons off Lake Street in Excelsior.
The race, expecting around 650 racers, will travel along three legs, including around Excelsior Commons, Excelsior Public Beach and a bike course. (Visit the website for a full course map.) The 5K course follows the shoreline of Lake Minnetonka.
For spectators, Excelsior Commons serves as the main hub for the race and offers an ideal space to cheer on participants as they race toward the finish line. Be sure to visit the refreshments areas, and stay for music provided by a local DJ.
Lake Minnetonka Triathlon has expanded its charities, allowing participants to determine which charity their donations go toward. The charities included are Angel Foundation, Community for The Commons, Lake Minnetonka Triathlon Fundraising and Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans. This year’s fundraising goal is $50,000.
Registration is open until race day, but spaces typically fill up quickly. Participants can enter individually, as a relay or family teams and for aqua biking. Clydesdale and Athena divisions are also available as an option. Prices vary.
