The New Glarus Alphornman Sprint Triathlon and AlphornKids Splash 'N Dash will be held on Sunday, August 4, 2019, starting at 7:30 a.m. The triathlon is a 1/4 mile swim, 15-mile bike ride and 3.1 mile run through the quaint streets and rolling countryside routes around the village. The AlphornKids Splash 'N Dash is a swim/run of various distances depending on age.
All transitions will be in the Village Park, along with the pool and the post-race pavilion. We hope all participants and their support groups join us for the post-race awards ceremony, featuring New Glarus Brewing's Spotted Cow, hot dogs from Hoesly's Meats and other great food.
