Portland Area Triathlon Events

Portland's triathlon season runs spring through summer at two anchor venues. Hagg Lake in the Coast Range hosts the Hagg Lake Triathlon — a punishing ride with enough climbing to thin the field. Blue Lake in the Columbia Gorge hosts the PDX Triathlon Festival each summer. XTERRA Portland brings the off-road format to the metro, and Gator Grinder in Canby keeps the calendar active through the season. Clark County's Columbia River events, a short bridge away in Vancouver WA, extend the menu without a long drive. Sprint to Olympic. Well-run, no drama.
