Description

The Kootenai Valley Triathlon, which consists of a 5k run, a 7 mile paddle and a 7 mile pedal, began in August of 2015 as a family friendly community event, hosted by Libby Christian Church to offer a unique and fun, multi-discipline race for the amateur athlete. It's a competitive event for serious racers as well as a great triathlon to take part in as a beginner or together as a family.  Any profits generated by the race go to the non-profit Libby Youth Center.
