The Marshall Recreation Center’s Annual Triathlon is the Tri-States only indoor triathlon event. The event features swimming, biking, and running...INDOORS! Participants will swim 300 yards in the pool, followed by an 8-mile spin on the indoor cycling bikes & 2 miles on the treadmills. The event is fun for children, adults, and spectators! Proceeds go towards the student development of our staff by providing them with leadership experiences and assisting them with conference participation and careers inside and outside of Campus Rec.

New this year, we’re excited to introduce the Splash and Dash! This addition is designed for younger participants, offering a fun and engaging swim-and-run experience tailored to kids ages 5–12. It’s a perfect way to inspire the next generation of triathletes while enjoying a family-friendly event.
