Triathlon Makes its Return to North Central Ohio on June 16

On Sunday, June 16, Pleasant Hill Lake Park in Perrysville will host hundreds of athletes for the Pleasant Valley Triathlon, Duathlon & Aquabike.

Athletes will swim up to 1,500 meters in Pleasant Hill Lake, bike up to 25 miles through Ashland and Richland counties around the park and end with a run inside the park.

There are multiple distances athletes will participate in, from the beginner-friendly super sprint (mini) distance to an Olympic distance. Each distance will start and end at Pleasant Hill Lake Park.

The Pleasant Valley Triathlon is organized by Columbus-based HFP Racing and is owned and operated by 1984 Lucas High School graduate Craig Thompson. The event is open to the public.

There will be bicyclists on the roads surrounding the park and in the Mohican area the day of the race.
