About the Folsom Olympic Distance Triathlon.
Great venue for a triathlon, with pristine mountain fresh water!

This event will attract racers from all over the State, but has become a staple in the Sacramento Area. Participants will range from the world's top elite triathletes to hundreds of age group and beginner triathletes each year. Athletes line up to attack one of the fastest International/Olympic Distance Triathlons in the USA. It is all about racing alongside the world's top professionals and celebrating at the finish line. Warm sun, great music, gourmet food, awards and laughter are only to be found at FODT.
