Registration for the 2013 Colby Triathlon is now open!

April 3rd, 2013

Due to the size of our venue, we only allow 150 entrants into our triathlon.  Please register early so you can guarantee a spot, we had to turn people away last year.  The Colby Triathlon is a competitive race for elite racers and a great triathlon to try as a beginner.  We pride ourselves on having a lot of first time triathletes.  Our triathlon is a great way to end the season.

This year if you are a non-USA Triathlon member you will have to purchase your $12 one day license through active.com.  This license serves as our insurance policy through USAT.  Our prices are the same as last year it is just different how you pay through active.  There will also be a standard on-line processing fee.  We are still one of the most expensive triathlons around and we pride ourselves on great prizes for all age groups.  We hope to see you in September!!

Esponette and Pisani Win 2011 Colby Triathlon!

September 24th, 2011

Despite the cloudy skies, the early morning rain ceased before race time; and the warmer than normal temperatures and enthusiastic spectators helped create another fun Colby Triathlon in its 7th annual running.

Tom Esponette and Nicole Pisani each pulled away from their competitors on the run, breaking wide open races that had been tightly packed up to that point for the victory at today’s 2011 Colby Triathlon on Messalonskee Lake in Sidney, Maine. We were very excited to have such a quality race field competing for the top spots. Congratulations to all the first time triathletes that joined us today, we are honored you chose us for your first race!

2010 Results – Overall and Age Group with Splits

September 25th, 2010

Update: Our originally posted results mistakenly listed our team winners Team Fossa as a DNF.  We have corrected this in both the split and overall results linked below and wish to apologize to Team Fossa — great race!

Congratulations to everyone who participated in the 2010 Colby Triathlon.  It was awesome to watch Milan Babik and Nicole Pisani, our overall winners.  Both had incredible performances from start to finish.

Congratulations also to Chris McGary and Katrine Alcaide, winners of the Xterra Wetsuits as first male and first female individual competitors to exit the water.

Please note that split times were recorded at the exit of the transition area; swim leg includes first transition, while wetsuits were awarded to those with the first foot out of the lake.
