It’s the final countdown!! Conditions for Sunday’s race look great with optimal river levels, great snow coverage, and friendly temperatures! If you’ve been waiting to see if conditions were to your liking, they pretty much can’t get any better!
As you may have seen, this year’s Mad River Triathlon sold out, but we opened up 50 more spots. Currently, there are a few spots left, so you better get on it! Online registration closes at midnight.
If you don’t make the midnight deadline, we will offer in-person registration during our packet pickup Saturday from 3-7 pm at Mad Bush Falls and at Warren Elementary School from 8-9:30 am on Sunday. Prices for in person registration are higher than completing your registration online. Since we already above our expected numbers, we will eventually have to turn folks away.
Follow for more activities!
We all need community and fresh air!
Come watch the Mad River Triathlon 🏃🚴🛶⛷️
Four sports. One day. Running, paddling, biking, and skiing — and it’s been called a triathlon since 1979. We’re not changing it now.
📅 Sunday, April 12th
🕙 10 AM
📍 Mad River Valley
A fundraiser for four local organizations keeping this valley wild:
Mad River Path · Mad River Riders · Friends of the Mad River · Mad River Valley Backcountry Coalition
You don’t have to race. Just show up, cheer on your neighbors, stand on the river bank, and soak it in.
Find it on Bee! 🐝
We have some bad news… The Mad River Triathlon is sold out! The good news is that we’re feeling generous! We figured this day would happen and it’s Darn Tough if you weren’t one of the early birds who scored a spot in this year’s Triathlon. After hitting our pre-determined cap for the number of participants, our team has decided to open up 50 more additional spots in this year’s race. These will certainly go fast, and once they are gone... they’re gone. This is the last opportunity to register online for this year’s Mad River Triathlon.

The Mad River Valley is known for its adventurous young rippers! Let’s give them a chance to participate in the festivities! Join us on Sunday for a fun-filled kids race that takes place as part of our Triathlon after-party. The race starts at 2:30 pm and will feature a biking and running obstacle course, followed by a ski, sled, or slip’n’slide. Given muddy conditions and some tricks up our sleeve, it’s a good idea to bring a change of clothes!
Current conditions update! 🏃♀️🚣🚴♂️⛷️
Were one week out from the Mad River Triathlon and conditions are a GO! The river is flowing nicely and the snow is holding out for one more celebration of the changing seasons. Keep an eye on our social channels and website for more updates on conditions throughout the week.

This year, we’ve added a couple of new opportunities for the day before the race:
Paddling Clinic – On Saturday, April 11th, Ben Morton, an ACA-accredited paddling instructor, will be offering a kayak/canoe clinic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m for $50 per person. Spots are limited, so sign up soon if you're interested.
Rios to Rivers Presentation – At 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 11th, Ben Morton will be giving a talk at Mad Bush Falls about the Rios to Rivers program. He’ll share the story of an incredible project following the removal of dams on the Klamath River, where professional kayakers trained Indigenous youth to prepare for a first descent of their newly restored river.
If you're not interested in participating in the Triathlon but would still love to get involved, here is a link to the volunteer sign-up: /go/10C054DABAC2CA3FCC16-62361097-2026#/
We hope to see you there!
