Churchill County Parks and Recreation is proud to offer the annual Dust Devil Sprint Triathlon. The event began in 2008 and has been held each August since that time!

SATURDAY, AUGUST 17th, 2019

The Dust Devil is a sprint triathlon with a 525 Yard Swim, a 14.5 Mile Bike, and a 5K (3.1 Mile) Run.

This triathlon is ideal for beginners! The swim occurs within our own Churchill Aquatics Center which houses a 25 yard pool (no wet suit required!). The bike route travels country roads with significant straight-aways and few turns. The run course is entirely on paved roads through local neighborhoods.
