A hippo can run faster than a human on land.
A hippo can swim faster than a human in the water.
Therefore, the only hope of beating a hippo in a triathlon is on the bike.
Triathlon is nothing more than a series of arguments between the part of your brain
that wants to stop and the part of your brain that wants to keep going. Win the argument. Be
a triathlete.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. – Arnold Schwarzenegger
It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up. – Babe Ruth
Join the Bass Lake Yosemite Triathlon on June 5, 2027. A California tradition dating back to the early 80s. Great course, great time. great challenge and, yes, a great race. Just minutes from Yosemite National Park, and in and around Bass Lake, one of the most beautiful lakes in California. The Bass Lake Yosemite Triathlon boasts one of the most challenging and beautiful courses in the US!
Be a part of history. At the dawn of triathlon, the 1983 and 1984 USAT (then TriFed) and USTS National Championships were held here. The sport of triathlon was virtually invented in Bass Lake. Set in the foothills of the Sierra, in and around Bass Lake (named by Sunset Magazine as the most beautiful lake in California), the triathlon tradition continues at Bass Lake.
Join us for the 16th Annual edition of this iconic race. Truly like no other. Our host hotel, The Pines Resort, sits right on Bass Lake, and is the location of the transition area, only steps from your room. Feel like camping? The other side of the lake is lined with National Forest Campgrounds. Rent a mansion on the lake? Yes. Stay at a luxurious resort? Yes? Budget lodging? Of course. Click HERE to find lodging options in the area. And after the race? Explore Yosemite National Park. Jetski, boat or fish on Bass Lake by reserving a boat at Miller’s Landing . Hike the Sierras or just hang out at the Pines Bar.
Bass Lake and its neighboring community, Oakhurst, are only a short drive from the gates of Yosemite National Park. The area provides a perfect place to stay while exploring the wonders of Yosemite National Park. Glacier Point , Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, Bridalveil Falls and all the hiking and sightseeing the Park has to offer are only minutes away.
