About Tri  Nikiski

The Tri Nikiski event is a non-chip timed event designed to raise money for local groups and have a lot of fun in the process. Like you, we enjoy triathlons and wanted another event on the Kenai Peninsula during the summer. 

Bring your family and enjoy the play park right next to the pool with acres of grass where you can have a picnic following the event.

Race day details

Event Information

Location
The event will take place in Nikiski at the North Peninsula Recreation Service area's pool (the Nikiski Pool) located at 55525 Poolside Ave, Kenai, AK 99611.  Showers and changing areas are available for you to use. 
​

Parking
Parking will be in the lot just past the pool on the right. If that lot fills up, overflow parking will be at the rec center parking lot at the corner of poolside ave and the Kenai Spur Hwy.

​Bike stands will be needed in the paved transition area.

Pool
The swim will be 10 laps with two people per lane.  
No flotation or assist devices allowed, no snorkels.

Bike
This bike route is an out and back course on small rolling hills. The route will start at the pool, and turn left towards the Kenai Spur Hwy (KSH). Turn left onto the KSH and proceed on the paved bike path until the turnaround point at Holt Lamplight road. When riding back towards the pool, bikers will be riding on the highway shoulder. Turn right onto poolside towards the transition area. 
Bike safety notes: 
- A bike helmet is required. 
- No earphones/headphones are allowed on the bike course.
- Bikers must follow the normal rules of the road.
- Be aware of the side roads while riding. Traffic is generally pretty light but ride with awareness of your surroundings. 

Run
The 5K run will be on the trail system behind the pool area. Since we live in Alaska, there is always potential for wildlife so be aware...or you might find yourself with the sudden motivation to set a new PR.  
No headphone allowed on run course. If you need music or want GPS during your run, you can use your phone just as long as you are holding the device....and have good taste in music!
