Bear Lake
Triathlon/Duathlon
Welcome
to the 2012 Grand Haven Bone & Joint Bear Lake Triathlon,
formerly known as Block – 58 Triathlon. This event takes place on
Sunday June 24, 2012 at 8:00AM. This USA Triathlon sanctioned event offers an
olympic distance triathlon, sprint distance triathlon and a sprint
distance duathlon. Relay teams are also invited to participate in any
of the events. All three events will take place at Bear Lake Park which
is located behind the North Muskegon High School in North Muskegon, Mi.
The swim portion will take place in Bear Lake with a beach start. The
bike will take athletes out north of the City on smooth county roads
and return to the City of North Muskegon. As a USAT sanctioned event,
certified course marshalls will be on the bike course to enforce
drafting rules. The run takes athletes through the scenic, residential
area of North Muskegon where volunteers and spectators will cheer and
encourage athletes along the way. The distances for the events are as
follows:
Olympic Course Triathlon: 1500 meter
swim / 40 – K bike / 10 – K run

Saturday, June 23, 2012 from 3:00PM to 6:00PM. Athletes and family can visit
with event sponsors and vendors. Packet pick up, body marking and late
registration will also take place at the expo.
We are excited to host this event in beautiful North Muskegon. We are
grateful for the support of the City of North Muskegon, Mayor Chris
Witham, North Muskegon Fire and Police Departments, Muskegon County
Sheriff Department and all of the other groups and agencies. We also
want to say a special thanks to Dr. Dirk Bakker of Grand Haven Bone
