The Dust Devil Sprint Triathlon is a perfect event for newbies and veteran’s alike! Since 2008, this event has been a staple in the Northern Nevada multi-sport community. The bike course travels rural county roads with few turns. The swim occurs within our own Churchill County Aquatics Center which houses a 25-yard pool (no wet suit required). The run course is entirely on paved roads through local neighborhoods.
The Dust Devil is a sprint triathlon with a 525 Yard Swim, a 14.5 Mile Bike, and a 5K (3.1 Mile) Run.
