Lake Fork Flyathlon

Description:

Details: WTF is a Flyathlon?  In short, Flyathlon races pair trail running and fly fishing into unique races benefitting fisheries native to the region that each event is held in.  The Lake Fork Flyathlon benefits the Colorado River cutthroat trout!

During the Lake Fork Flyathlon, our flyathletes run out-and-back along these very gradual, super-fishy 5 miles of river, for a total of 10 miles. The river features large rainbow and brown trout, with the occasional kokanee salmon thrown in just to make it interesting. Following the race, our participants reconvene for an incredible catered dinner, fine Colorado craft beer and whiskey, and fish stories told around multiple campfires. Our top flyathletes from the day (Top Male and Female, Biggest and Smallest Fish) will compete for a custom fly rod in our leisure-sport-tournament-of-champions (corn hole followed by a BB rifle shootout).

Because this race is a fundraising race, this year we have decided to have a required fundraising minimum of $250. Money raised will go towards on-the-ground projects with a Colorado River cutthroat trout focus. If you want to participate and this amount of fundraising is prohibitive, please indicate that during registration and we can provide you with some alternatives.
