Graniteman Clearwater
Since 2004 the Graniteman Triathlon in Clearwater has attracted participants from across the U.S. and Canada. Graniteman Clearwater is the second race in a 3 race triathlon series that also includes races in Buffalo and Big Lake. Our Clearwater race takes place at beautiful Warner Lake located just minutes from I-94 in Clearwater, MN. It offers both sprint and olympic distances and features a unique point to point sprint distance swim, a beautiful bike ride through rolling country roads, and finishes with an out & back run that includes both paved and natural surfaces. There is also a park for the kids, live music, great food, fantastic race swag, great awards, and awesome door prizes!
