About Us
Graniteman has been attracting triathletes, adventure seekers, and runners from all over the world to Central Minnesota since 2004. What started as a single triathlon called Graniteman has now spawned into a variety of annual events that include triathlons, obstacle course races, and runs.
The Graniteman Triathlon race season is comprised of 3 fantastic sprint and olympic triathlons with unbeatable locations, venues, and courses. Each race course is unique and offers all of the important amenities a triathlete and spectator could ever need. Triathletes can choose individual races to participate in, or get a discount if they race all 3.
The Buffalo Triathlon is held the first weekend in June and is the first race of the Graniteman season. The race is held at Sturges Park in the heart of beautiful Buffalo, MN and has become one of the most popular triathlons in the Midwest.
Graniteman Clearwater is held the second weekend of July and takes place at beautiful Warner Lake Park, which is located just minutes from I-94 in Clearwater, MN. It features a both sprint and olympic distances, a unique straight point to point swim, a beautiful bike ride through rolling country roads, and finishes with an out & back run with both paved and natural surfaces.
The Graniteman season finishes up in Big Lake, MN at Lake Side Park which is right off of HWY 10. The race also offers both sprint and olympic distances, and is always a crowd favorite thanks to the beautifully wooded park, awesome swim beach, and super flat and fast lake side bike and run courses.
