About this run
Alamosa Parks and Recreation will be hosting the 6th annual “Valley Bottom Rio Trio”; an adventure-style triathlon race within the City of Alamosa! This fully chip-timed race will feature an 8-mile trail bike ride, a 3-mile paddle on the Rio Grande, and a 5k+ run. Participants will be given the option of doing all three legs of the race solo or as part of a 3-person relay team. Bring your own boat or rent a kayak or standup paddleboard from us (limited quantities available)! This year's race will take place on the morning of Saturday, June 6th. An outdoor awards ceremony and lunch will be served by local food vendors following the race. This year's event will also be a part of the city's Riofest, which includes live music, craft vendors, food, beer, and an outdoor expo.
