The Ohio Games Triathlon and Multisport Festival has something for everyone, including all ages and ability levels! Races include beginner, sprint, olympic, and ⅓ iron distances in triathlons, duathlons, aquabikes, and aquathlons, with various open swim distances. Racers call the Ohio Games one of the best events in Ohio because of our positive, friendly community of support! It’s a small race with a big race atmosphere. Plus there is free training help, along with awesome performance tees in gender specific cuts, in-race pictures, finisher medals, and a post-race meal to go! Race assured that we will ensure the safety of all athletes, have medical support and law enforcement on site, adhere to all Federal, State and Local ordinances, and implement COVID-19 protocols to limit the spread of the virus, so you can achieve your goals! All are welcome at the Ohio Games Triathlon and Multisport Festival.
The Ohio State Parks, where our races are hosted, have indicated that they will not approve any permits until May of 2021. We are opening registration in the hopes that our June 27th event will be approved for live in-person racing. If the event permit is not approved all athletes will be moved to a virtual race and athletes will be refunded all race fees paid over $40, have their race packet mailed and submit results virtually. Registration for this event will remain open through race day, so you are welcome to wait to register if you prefer. Thank you,
The Ohio Games Executive Committee
