General Info

Enjoy a fun late season tri at beautiful Bear Creek Lake Park in the Lakewood/Morrison area. Set at the base of the foothills, the Littlefoot Triathlon starts off with a 750 meter swim in Big Soda Lake, with water temps expected to be approximately 70 degrees.

Next, a rolling 15K bike ride on smooth paved roads that covers nearly the entire park, offering great views throughout! Finish it up with a scenic 5K run on a bike path that winds through the park.

Join us in welcoming Campus Cycles as presenting sponsor for the 2023 Littlefoot Sprint Triathlon!

Campus Cycles is a full service bike shop, conveniently located near DU in Denver. Campus has been our family's go-to bike shop for the past decade! From training and racing bikes for me, to Jill's fun trail bike, to kids bikes then young adult bikes followed by adult bikes for our daughter Marley, Campus has us covered - and their service department is the best I have worked with!

Between now and race day, Campus can help you with bike repairs (or even a new bike!), clothing and tubes, a bike fit, or that all important pre-race tune-up! Be sure to stop in and check them out!!!

WIN A NEW BIKE!!! Our presenting sponsor, Campus Cycles will be awarding a bike by random drawing during our awards presentation. The winner may also opt to purchase the bike of their choice and apply an equal credit toward the cost of that bike! If you are entered in the race, then you are entered in the drawing, but you must be present to win!

Campus Cycles will also have a tech-tent adjacent to the transition area to handle your last minute bike issues.

Directions

The Littlefoot Triathlon takes place at Bear Creek Lake Park in Lakewood, just a mile from downtown Morrison. Please be aware that some of the map websites that provide directions will send you to the wrong side of the park, where there is no entrance. The park is easy to find, however. From C-470, exit at the Morrison Road exit. Head east on Morrison Road about a quarter mile, and the park entrance will be on your right.

For those of you who would like to take your chances online, the park address is 15600 W. Morrison Road, Lakewood, CO 80465.

The park gate will open at 5:30am. Park entry is free for race participants - we will pay your entrance fee.

Once you have passed the entry station, turn right at the 3-way intersection and follow the road approximately 1 mile. Please follow signs and race parking crew directions.
