August 13-15, 2021
Coronavirus & COVID-19 Update:
12/7/2020 - The upcoming vaccine sounds promising for the return of events in 2021. We have dates set for our events and registration is open, but we will not be able to confirm any events until the respective permitting agencies give us the ok to continue with planning. We will send email notifications as we hear about each event. Thank you for your patience and support!
7/15/2020 - We really thought we'd be able to have this event. Unfortunately in addition to not being able to use the pool, the farm is also unavailable. A late crop rotation leaves us without a campground or run venue. Without a swim and a run, we have to cancel this year. We will be back in 2021.
FREE WAITLIST - If you are interested in racing but want to wait until we know if we can proceed, there is the option to sign up for the free waitlist on the registration platform. We will freeze the price at the time you sign up for the waitlist should we be able to proceed. The waitlist does not include any obligation, we just want to know if you are thinking of coming out and racing. Thank you for your patience!
5/27/2020 - We are very hopeful that we can have the 5th annual Triumph in August. This being a relatively small event on a large farm, we are confident that we can modify the exchange and camping areas to allow for ample social distancing at the race. Our X-factor currently is the swim at Osborn Aquatic Center. We are not sure what the pool regulations will be come August. It is possible that we will need to lengthen out the timeline to decrease the number of groups on deck, move to an outdoor venue for the swim, or explore some other option. We are working through the logistics of our other events that are earlier in the summer and will then turn our focus to Triumph. We will post updates here as we have them. Thank you for your patience!

Imagine a weekend of training where you swim, bike or run each day. Now add friends to train with you- lots of them! Add a winery, a beautiful county park and farm. Then add camping, food and a nightly party. Sound like a good weekend? We think so!

Best in the West Events brings you a one-of-a-kind triathlon event that is a fun way to for families, groups of friends, age-groupers, and die-hard athletes alike to enjoy a weekend-long multi-sport relay event. The Triumph Iron Relay covers the distance of a full or half Iron-distance triathlon, however it is broken up over a weekend into a relay. Each leg concludes with a social event at a different venue each day. The swim is at Osborn Aquatic Center in Corvallis, the bike is at Emerson Vineyards in Monmouth, and the run is in Corvallis at Brandis Farms. Free camping is available for racers and their families at Brandis Farms Friday-Monday.
Participants complete any portion of the event distance they choose, from a single individual doing the whole thing up to a team with a maximum number of 10 individuals and a maximum of 5 on any given leg of the event. By the conclusion of the weekend, each team has completed the equivalent of an Iron or Half-Iron distance triathlon. See our the Gazette-Times report on the 2016 event and a write up in Willamette Living Magazine. Will you Triumph? WHEN:
2nd weekend in August Swim - Friday August 13, 2021 - 6pm Bike - Saturday August 14, 2021 - 8am Run - Sunday August 15, 2021 - 9am WHERE: Free Camping and Headquarters - Brandis Farm - Corvallis, OR Swim - Osborn Aquatic Center - Corvallis, OR Bike - Emerson Vineyards - Monmouth, OR Run - Brandis Farm - Corvallis, OR DISTANCES: This is a relay. As long as you complete whole laps, there are not rules on how you do it! Sign up a team or go solo! FULL: HALF: Swim - 76 x 50m laps = 2.4 miles 38 x 50m laps = 1.2 miles Bike - 10 x 11.2mi laps = 112 miles 5 x 11.2mi laps = 56 miles Run - 10 x 2.62mi laps = 26.2 miles 5 x 2.62mi laps = 13.1miles ABOUT: This weekend is all about socializing with other endurance minded people while hanging out with your friends and doing a bit of exercise. Doing the full with a team of 5 is like doing an Olympic distance tri, but over 3 days! The half? Just like a sprint distance. Feeling crazy? Take it on solo and get so much support all weekend long. We have great food each day, and you are sure to come away with some new friends and great memories. The half distance is great for families with kids! You can split up the laps anyway you like. Don’t swim? No problem! Get some swimmers for Friday and cheer them on. You can race the bike and or the run days! Put together a team of ringers, split it up evenly, or get your family into the action for a lap or two, your strategy is up to you! |
