(Klas Stolpe) Juneau, Alaska (KINY) - The Aukeman Triathlon is set to splash off at 7:30 a.m. Saturday with the 750-meter swim on Auke Lake, transitioning to a 19K bike ride to the glacier and back, and finishing with an out-and-back 5K run from the University of Alaska Southeast campus to complete the sprint distance course.
“It’s just a quiet little race this year,” Aukeman race director Liz Smith said. “We haven’t done any advertising, but we have been full for over a month.”
