Jefferson City, MO | Saturday, June 13, 2026TriathlonRegistration Open
Join us for 10th edition of The Great Escape & Mini Escape Triathlons on June 13th & 14th, 2026!! We are excited to offer a well-organized, family & beginner friendly triathlon in Jefferson City, Missouri! To complete the Escape, athletes will have a snake swim in the 4 lane, 50 meter pool at Ellis Porter Riverside Park, then on to the bike over city & rural roads to the outskirts of the new Missouri State Prison and back. The run will take athletes to the old historic Missouri State Penitentiary and back to cross the finish line and earn the classic Great Escape medal! With triathlon & duathlon events for ages 13 & up (The *Great* Escape), and a triathlon event for ages 5 - 12 (The *Mini* Escape), there is something for the whole family. If you're speedy, we've got all kinds of prizes and swag for the overall winners, plus finisher medals & participant shirts for everyone, so mark your calendars for the 2026 Great Escape Triathlon!!
