Muscatine’s about to trade cornfields for carbon-fiber when the inaugural Muscatine Triathlon hits Deep Lakes Park on Saturday, August 2, 2025. Presented by the hydration heroes at Sqwincher®, this first-ever swim-bike-run showdown packs enough excitement to get veteran racers and first-timers alike lacing up.
The course at a glance — no guesswork, no gimmicks
| Leg | Distance | Why you’ll love it |
|---|---|---|
| Swim | 750 m | Crystal-clear, calm waters in Deep Lakes Park—think “postcard” more than “washing-machine churn.” |
| Bike | 12.4 mi | Smooth, speedy pavement built for personal bests—whether you’re riding aero or on the trusty commuter. |
| Run | 5 km | Flat, fast, and tailor-made for that finish-line surge (yes, the crowd will see your victory face). |
Not just for podium chasers
Bring the whole crew: kid-friendly activities, food trucks, and a lively downtown after-party mean nobody’s stuck twiddling thumbs while you chase glory. Come for the race, stay for the live music and downtown vibes—your social feed will thank you.
Money talks—so does bragging rights
Top-tier athletes, listen up. An elite prize purse of $5,000 | $2,000 | $1,000 awaits the fastest men and women, with age-group awards adding extra motivation for the rest of us mere mortals. Cash, medals, and hometown bragging rights? That’s the trifecta everyone can appreciate.

Why “first annual” matters
Beating the course record is great, but setting it is legendary. Show up this year and your time becomes the benchmark future triathletes will chase. That’s a legacy worth a little burn in the quads.
Gear up, Hydrate like you mean it, and we’ll see you on the start line August 2. Muscatine’s ready—are you?
