Tri @ the Y Indoor Challenge
March 22, 2026
The Tri @ the Y Indoor Challenge is a fun, inclusive indoor triathlon-style event designed for all fitness levels, from first-timers to experienced athletes. Participants rotate through three back-to-back 15-minute segments - swimming in the pool, cycling on an indoor stationary bike, and running or walking on a treadmill - for a total of 45 minutes of activity. Each participant is assigned a specific start time and completes all three phrases consecutively. Results are divided by age group and by gender. This weather-proof, beginner-friendly event offers a supportive, community-focused atmosphere and a great intro to multi-sport fitness.
