The 40th Annual Burley Lions Spudman Triathlon is almost here! In just a few days, you'll be joining thousands of athletes on the banks of the Snake River for one of the country's most iconic triathlons.
Please take a few minutes to review the important information below to ensure a smooth and successful race weekend.
🎥 Watch the NEW Athlete Safety & Course Video
We've created a 5-minute course overview and safety video to help familiarize you with the swim, bike, run, transitions, and important race-day safety information.
Watch here:

Even if you've raced Spudman before, we encourage everyone to watch.
🏊 Check Your Wave Start Time
Wave start times are now available!
Find your wave here:
https://spudman.org/waves
The first wave begins promptly at 6:50 AM.
Please know your assigned wave and arrive with plenty of time to spare.
NO! You cannot switch from the Olympic to Sprint, switch waves, or any other switching, so please don’t ask. (Many have).
NO! You cannot get a refund or exchange.
NO! Someone cannot race in your place.
These were all outlined at registration.
🚗 Race Morning Parking & Traffic
Athlete parking at the golf course will be extremely limited on race morning and will close as soon as the parking lot reaches capacity. We strongly encourage athletes to arrive early and plan ahead.
If you purchased an RV parking pass during registration, you'll receive instructions for accessing the golf course. Only RVs with the proper access code will be permitted into the designated RV parking area.
Traveling from Utah?
To avoid race-day traffic and road closures, we recommend avoiding Exit 211 into Burley on Saturday morning.
Instead, use one of these alternate exits:
Exit 216 – Declo
Exit 228 – Yale Road
These routes will provide the easiest access into Burley on race morning.
☀️ Weather Forecast
The forecast is looking clear and sunny, but it will also be hot.
Please come prepared:
Hydrate throughout the week
Bring plenty of fluids
Wear sunscreen
Consider electrolyte replacement before and after the race
Listen to your body during the event
