Shake out the Pre-Season Jitters with a Test Run Triathlon! Our biggest event of the year and perfect for everyone from First-Timers to Seasoned Veterans. The Portland Triathlon Club presents an awesome opportunity to practice your triathlon skills in a non-competitive environment: The Annual Mock Tri. 

Registration is OPEN
We have TWO registration windows this year. We have "early bird" pricing from March 9 - May 2 and will increase the price for the week leading up to the event from May 3 - May 9. 

This is an excellent training event - allowing you to see where you are in your triathlon fitness, as well as offering first-timers the opportunity to try the sport in a supportive environment.

The “mock” triathlon is not a formal competition with finisher medals and official timing. It is a learning race where all participants see demonstrations, attend clinics, and go through a Sprint or Olympic distance triathlon. Everyone has a chance to “TRI” in a safe healthy environment.

This is event is for participants 18 years of age and older. Current members are all welcome to participate! If you are not a current member of Portland Triathlon Club, you can purchase a day-of membership. Current members receive $10 off.

If you wish to register morning of, you need to bring cash or check. (We don’t have service to run credit cards.)

Your registration will get you:
- Access to pre-event clinics that will teach you key things all triathletes should know.
- A safe, fully supported, swim course in Vancouver Lake.
- A well marked, easy to navigate, bike and run course.
- Aid station on the run course.
- A secure transition area to give you the full race day experience.
- LUNCH at the BBQ celebration after the event.
