# Try a Virtual Tri - **When:** Wed, Sep 30, 2026 · 7:00 PM CDT - **Where:** you pick it, Helena, MT, 59601 - **Event page:** https://runthis.run/event/rs-215429-try-a-virtual-tri ## Registration Register on the event's own site: https://runsignup.com/Race/MT/Helena/VirtualTriathlonXSwimSkiBikeRun?aflt_token=58wBqomPr6bPwa1YDhuKo0IQvrNCjzTq ## Description Virtual Multisport Races: Fall/Winter 2026 & Winter/Spring 2027 Keep the multisport momentum going until next summer with two virtual races on your winter schedule. This event is open everyone. Complete each race virtually, post your finish time, and resume training for the next one. The goals are consistency through the winter, to not care (too much) about how your time compares to others but to goal toward the second race feeling better than the first. Give strength training the time it deserves, commit to yoga, learn to ski, take some swim lessons, and keep the virtual race goal in mind through the winter. Cross-training works! Race Details Distances - same for both '26 and '27 races: 500 yard swim (converted meters accepted)  10 mile bike 3 mile run No pool nearby? Make it a 5K ski instead.  Official winter tri order is run, bike, ski.  Pick your date and get it done—outside, in the gym, or both. Whatever works. No one cares about transition times, but all three events must be done consecutively on the same day. How to Participate Commit today and sign up.
