The Half Distance Triathlon Maine presents a fast, current-assisted swim in the Kennebec River to a scenic but demanding bike course, followed by a shaded, rolling run through charming Maine towns. This event is known for its river-powered swim (avg. 69°F/21°C), over 3,000 feet of bike elevation through the Kennebec River Valley, and a flat-to-rolling run along tree-lined paths with race-day air temps around 75°F (24°C). To perform your best across this varied terrain, you need a training plan that prepares you both physically and mentally for the course’s unique demands.
