We take great pride in producing races that are professionally organized, safe, fun, fair and affordable. You will not find any courses more beautiful than these! The Vermont Sun Triathlon Series is truly designed for triathletes of all ages and abilities. Each multi-sport event has team divisions so participants can simply "team-up" and do one or two events rather than the entire race. Teams of three are also encouraged. Series Beneficiaries: This season we will be donating a portion of race proceeds to outstanding non-profit organizations such as the United Way, Keewaydin Foundation, and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
The Venue: Nestled against the Green Mountain’s, just below Rattlesnake Point is Branbury State Park. The lake region is a most spectacular and pristine place to swim, bike and run. Novice and advanced triathletes alike marvel the beauty of our courses and enjoy the mountains, lakes and streams of Central Vermont. The swim takes place in warm, calm, crystal clear Lake Dunmore. The bike and run courses loop around the rolling hills of the lake. To learn more about Branbury State Park please visit

Best of the US Qualifier: The Lake Dunmore Triathlon is proud to be the official Vermont qualifier for the Best of the US Triathlete Competition. From April through August, licensed amateur triathletes will compete in their state's designated USAT-sanctioned, sprint or international distance Qualifying Race. Male and female winners will be named Best of Their State and the right to compete at the designated Finals Championship Race. The Championship Race is a highly publicized exhibition event featuring grand staging, a festival atmosphere, a Parade of States competitor entry, and individual recognition for each State Representative. Winners of the Championship Race will be named "Best of the U.S. Amateur Triathletes." If you are the male or female overall winner of the Lake Dunmore Triathlon you will be crowned the Vermont champion and automatically qualify to compete in the Best of the US championship triathlon against the other state’s winners. In an effort to offset the cost of travel to get to the BOUS championship event , Vermont Sun will contribute $125 towards travel expense for both male and female Vermont winners.
