The Cape D. Sprint Triathlon was established in 2012 by Ilwaco Parks and Recreation to bring healthy, adventurous events to Ilwaco, WA. Now sponsored by Peninsula Poverty Response, this event shines a light on individuals living in poverty. Peninsula Poverty Response helps to put on local events advocating for those in need, such as Project Homeless Connect and Pack2School. A great cause to support, and a beautiful setting to do it in! The triathlon distances are 500-meter swim, 12-mile bike, and 3.3 mile run. Ilwaco’s Black Lake, Cape Disappointment Loop, and Black Lake trails will wind you around some of the most beautiful sites on the Washington Coast!
