The eighth annual Superior Triathlon will host a field of athletes from across North America. They will begin by jumping off the Vista Fleet cruise ship into the bay of Lake Superior, swimming 1.2 miles. Athletes will then bike 56 miles along the scenic North Shore, finishing the triathlon with a 13.1-mile run through Canal Park and the Lakewalk. There is also a 41.5-event with a .5-mile swim, 35.4-mile bike ride and a 5.6-mile run.
