We are making the 25th year of the Hammerman Triathlon and Duathlon the biggest and best yet! We have something for everyone. We now have both a SPRINT and LONG COURSE to choose from. All new bike and run courses this year to test your stamina and skills.  

SPRINT

If you felt the old course was maybe just a little too much for you or you are looking for something a little shorter, we now have a sprint option. This will be about a 500yd open water swim, 9-mile mountain bike, and 2.2-mile run.

LONG COURSE

For those of you looking for the whole enchilada, challenge yourself to 2-laps of everything! Start with a 1000 yard swim, follow that with 18 miles of ripping around the awesome Kincaid trail system, then wrapping it up with 4.4 miles of the best terrain the park can offer.  

DUATHLON

If open water swimming is not your thing, we have you covered. Join us for the Duathlon which will start with a run, then follow the sprint course for the same bike and 2nd run legs.  

RELAY

If you want to make this a family or team event, we have a relay option that will be on the long course to ensure that each person gets their money’s worth.

Are you ready to get DIRTY? 

2026 will be the 25th Anniversary of the Hammerman Triathlon and Duathlon. We have some exciting plans to celebrate this milestone. Mark your calendars for the biggest and dirtiest Hammerman ever!   

The Hammerman Triathlon and Duathlon are off-road events held at Little Campbell Lake in Anchorage, Alaska. Racers can now choose between the sprint and long course options for the triathlon. The duathlon substitutes the swim with a short 1.8k run around the lake and then races on the same bike and final run legs as the triathlon. See the course tab for detailed course descriptions and maps.

Hammerman Triathlon and Duathlon Course Map

Basic bike and run course maps are at the bottom of this page.  Also see the Strava routes linked to under each description.

Swim – The swim will be an in-water start on the north end of the lake. Swimmers will do one lap for the sprint and 2 laps for the long course and relay. Swimmers will stay to the right on the way down and then staying to the right again on the way back. The sprint racers will exit after completing their first lap. Those doing the long course and the relay will loop around the large buoy at the start line and head out for a second lap.

Duathlon Run #1 – This run is not shown on the map above, but consists of a short loop clockwise around the lake, following a mix of doubletrack and singletrack trails.  

Bike – All racers will utilize the same bike course. The sprint and duathlon race will do one lap of the bike course, approximately 9 miles. The long course and relay racers will complete 2 full laps of the bike course, approximately 18 miles of humps, bumps and all sorts of dirty fun.
