Registration »

Please join us for the 5th Annual Saint Croix Fat Cat Triathlon, presented by the Scandia-Marine Lions Foundation.

Participants in the Saint Croix Fat Cat will paddle, run and pedal their way along one of the finest routes we could dream up! Racers will paddle 3.8 miles on the Saint Croix Scenic Riverway downstream from Scandia’s Log House Landing, around Greenburg Island into William O’Brien State Park.

After exiting the watercraft, they will run a 5.5 mile majestic route through the park ending at Scandia-Marine Lions Park (mostly trail). They will transition to their bikes for an 11-mile ride along the shores of Big Marine Lake and through some of Scandia’s idyllic back roads (on paved roads), finishing back at the Lions Park where they can enjoy a snack & beverage. Awards to top finishers.

All proceeds go back to our communities, education and Lions causes.

The race is limited to 200 watercraft.
