In this odd and unprecedented year of 2020 in which all events have been canceled, the Rogue River Triathlon has been granted the green-light! We are going to run the event! We will be following Oregon state guidelines regarding COVID-19. The Rogue River Triathlon is a special little event held in Agness beginning at 9 a.m. on Aug. 8. There are many reasons why this event is special, but let’s point out a few. The run and bike sections of the event boast beautiful views of the river. The swim portion actually takes place in the river! #placement_573654_0_i{width:100%;max-width:550px;margin:0 auto;}var rnd = window.rnd || Math.floor(Math.random()*10e6);var pid573654 = window.pid573654 || rnd;var plc573654 = window.plc573654 || 0;var abkw = window.abkw || '';var absrc = 'https://ads.empowerlocal.co/adserve/;ID=181918;size=0x0;setID=573654;type=js;sw='+screen.width+';sh='+screen.height+';spr='+window.devicePixelRatio+';kw='+abkw+';pid='+pid573654+';place='+(plc573654++)+';rnd='+rnd+';click=CLICK_MACRO_PLACEHOLDER';var _absrc = absrc.split("type=js"); absrc = _absrc[0] + 'type=js;referrer=' + encodeURIComponent(document.location.href) + _absrc[1];document.write('');The event is a fundraiser for the Agness Library and the Agness Fire Dept. The entry fee is a donation and all proceeds go to the library and the fire department. The people of Agness also host a bake sale and we have a fundraiser drawing for donated prizes that add to the proceeds. This event is a great starter Triathlon for anyone who has ever thought about doing a Triathlon. The swim is a half-mile distance down river, the bike ride is 12 miles and the run is 3 miles. Athletes can participate in an individual category or as a team. The run and bike portions of the event are on an out-and-back course so there is lots of support and encouragement from other athletes.
