Half Distance Triathlon Pennsylvania – HAPPY VALLEY
Train Smart. Race Strong. Finish at Beaver Stadium.
Set in the scenic beauty of Bald Eagle State Park, the Half Distance Triathlon Pennsylvania – Happy Valley is more than a race—it's an unforgettable journey through one of America’s most iconic college towns.

🚴♂️ Roll into the 56-mile bike ride through Happy Valley's rolling terrain. Take on climbs over Hublers Ridge and Pleasant Gap, with sweeping views of farmland and forest before gliding toward Penn State.
🏃♀️ Finish with a 13.1-mile run through the heart of Penn State University, passing Old Main, the Nittany Lion Shrine, and finishing at the 50-yard line of Beaver Stadium (avg. 78°F/26°C).
To fully experience this course and perform your best on race day, you need more than motivation—you need a smart, proven training strategy.
