Prepare to experience the Half Distance Triathlon in Pennsylvania like never before—set in the breathtaking landscape of Bald Eagle State Park. The course begins with a 1.2-mile swim in the tranquil Foster Joseph Sayers Lake (avg. temp 76°F/24°C), followed by a scenic 56-mile bike ride across Hublers Ridge, Pleasant Gap, and Happy Valley farmland. Then lace up for a 13.1-mile run through the iconic Penn State campus, past Old Main and the Nittany Lion Shrine, finishing at the legendary Beaver Stadium (avg. air temp 78°F/26°C).
