Plutonium Man Triathlon (runsignup.com)
NEW THIS YEAR: A sprint distance triathlon will be added to the race, so you have the choice of Olympic distance, sprint distance, or relay teams for the Olympic distance event.
RACE FORMAT: 1.3 km swim; 40 km bike; 10 km run for the Olympic distance triathlon and 1.3 km swim, 20 km bike, and 5 km run for the sprint distance triathlon.
Course Description: Swimmers enter the Columbia River at a beach about 400 yards upstream of the North Richland starch plant (note that the start on the map is not accurate…we will not start at the POB low dock barge slip) and swim downstream with the current (fast times, baby) 1.3 km to the exit just upstream of Sprout Road. The single transition area will be at the SE corner of the WSU Tri-Cities campus grounds. Cyclists will head west on Sprout Road, turn right on George Washington Way and follow the course as described on the course maps. Olympic distance triathletes will do 2 loops of the bike course while the sprint distance triathletes do one loop.
The run will also consist of two loops that take runners upstream (north) along the foot path, with a hard left turn by the Triton Submarine monument, back along Richardson Road, taking a left on Crimson Way, and back through the WSU campus. Olympic distance triathletes do two loops of this course and the sprint distance triathletes do one loop of the run course.
COVID SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: We will be following the guidelines from the Governor’s office to keep everyone safe and healthy before, during, and after the race. We will send out pertinent information on any precautions we need to take about a week before the race.
Fees:
• Race – $45 by August 15th and $55 after that (3RRR members get a $3 discount).

(As a sanctioned USA Triathlon (USAT) event, all participants are required to have a USAT license. If you are not a card carrying member a One Day License must be purchased for $15.

Open Water River Swims
2022-08-26 08:00 - 09:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
We plan to start getting is some river swims starting on July 1st. We will meet up Friday mornings at 7:30 and Saturday mornings at 8:30. Meet up spot is the same as previous years, which is the public parking lot just upstream of the Marina Vista Estates townhouse complex (downstream from the River Front Hotel). We drive to the upstream get in point and then swim downriver, getting out across from Eric’s townhouse, where a warm water hose will be available to wash off the river scum and rinse out your wetsuit. 3 things to know:

You need to swim with a swim buoy or some other brightly colored floaty toy that increases your visibility to the boaters. When everyone wears one it increases the visibility for all of us.
These are not lifeguarded swims. Some times we may have an escort kayak or SUP, but don’t expect one.
Due to number 2 above, if you show up for the swim you are making the statement that you are capable of swimming in the river. The river is colder and darker than any pool you swim in. Please take that into account before you show up for a swim.

NOTE: DIFFERENT MEET UP SPOT ON THIS DATE!!! MEET IN THE PARKING LOT ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE WSU TRI-CITIES CAMPUS FOR A PREVIEW OF THE PLUTONIUM MAN TRIATHLON SWIM COURSE. MEET AT 8:00 AM.

Hey kids –> It’s your turn! Here is a chance to give triathlon a try. See if you’ve got what it takes to get to the finish line…we think you can do it.
Hey parents –> Here is a chance for your young athletes to try something a little different by putting a swim, bike, and run together in one event. We have designed a safe course with plenty of adult supervision that will be fun for the kids to challenge. The 250-yard swim will be in the river in a shallow area near shore with plenty of boat and swimmer support. The 4.5-mile bike leg is all on a bike path, except for a short portion in the boat ramp parking lot which will be heavily barricaded and controlled. Helmets are required and any bike in good working condition may be used. The 1-mile run will be completely on a foot path.
COVID SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: We will be following the guidelines from the Governor’s office to keep everyone safe and healthy before, during, and after the race. This guidance may change between now and race day, and we expect 100% compliance from all race participants, parents and volunteers. We will email the safety precautions we plan to take just before race day.
What: It’s a triathlon that starts with a swim, goes directly into a bike, and then finishes with the run. Once the starting gun goes off, the action is non-stop and doesn’t end until the run is completed.
Where: Howard Amon Park, Richland, Washington. Look for the picnic shelter in the south end of the park, on the river side of the Richland Community Center for race HQ.
Race Day Schedule: On race day, arrive early and be prepared for the following:
• 7:00 am – Packet pickup starts

Race Day Schedule: On race day, arrive early and be prepared for the following:
• 7:00 am – Packet pickup starts
• 8:30 am – Mandatory pre-race meeting
• 9:00 am – Race start
• 11:30 am – Course closes
Award Ceremony: We cannot have a large gathering for an award ceremony. Instead, check the Negative Split website on your phone at www.nsplit.com/results, or the paper results posted on the side of the 3RRR trailer, to see if you placed in your age group or were one of the top 3 overall men or women and you can collect your award outside on the deck at Kiona Winery after the race. Awards are race glasses that will NOT be mailed. If you miss the pick up after the race you will need to contact Eric at sagag@charter.net to arrange a pickup time for your award.
Special Considerations: Please note the following:
• Mountain bikes, ONLY. Athletes must use mountain bike frames with 26-29 inch wheels, and tires with a minimum 1.5 inch width (no road tires allowed) and have some sort of knobby, raised pattern that covers more than 50% of the tire surface. So that means the slick portion of the tire is less than 50% of the tire surface.
Questions: Please contact Eric Greager at sageg@charter.net with any race questions.
Volunteers: We need lots of volunteers for all our multi-sport events. If you can help at this event, please contact Eric Greager at sageg@charter.net .

That’s what this run is all about! This run has a 1mile, 5k & 10k distances. It starts at Chiawana Park in Pasco & is an out & back course on the footpath. Each participant who finishes receives a pair of fun socks to wear on DS Day, a medal, post race snacks & other goodies. Register @ DSAMC.org .
