12th annual Courage Triathlon held at the Lake Almanor Country Club Aug. 15
The 12th annual Courage Triathlon — dubbed a race to end trafficking. Run with purpose. Move with courage begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 15 at the Lake Almanor Country Club.
According to a Facebook post, for 12 years, the Courage Triathlon has united athletes, families, and advocates around a cause that demands our attention: The fight against child sex trafficking.
What began as a local race has grown into a movement — and this year, we’re taking it further than ever.
The 12th Annual Courage Triathlon returns to the stunning shores of Lake Almanor, and this year, we’re opening registration to virtual participants nationwide. Whether you’re standing at the start line or lacing up your sneakers a thousand miles away, you’re part of this fight.
The course
Run – 2.8 Miles – Scenic road run.
Bike – 6.4 Miles – Road cycling course.
Row – 3.1 Miles – Kayak or paddleboard.
From the adrenaline of a scenic run and ride through the pines to the rhythm of your paddle cutting across the glassy surface of Lake Almanor, every leg of this course is designed to challenge your body and renew your purpose.
You’re not just racing — you’re running toward a world where every child is safe.
How to participate
Solo
Take on all three legs yourself — run, bike, and row the full course at Lake Almanor.
Team relay
Split the triathlon among two or three teammates. Each member completes one or more legs of the race. Grab your friends, your family, or your coworkers and race together.
Virtual
Can’t make it to Lake Almanor? Now you don’t have to. Register as a virtual participant and log your own activities, distances, and times — on your schedule, from wherever you are.
We want you to join us in person, however we know that distance should not discourage your heart for supporting Courage. The beauty of virtual participation is that it meets you where you are. Want to run five miles through your neighborhood to show your support? Log it. Planning to paddleboard for two hours around your local marina? We’d love to hear about it. Prefer a walk around the block with your kids and the dog? That counts, too. Every step, every stroke, every mile matters.
Why we race
Every registration, every mile logged and every dollar raised goes directly toward the mission of Courage Worldwide — an organization dedicated to providing residential housing and comprehensive therapeutic services for child survivors of sex trafficking. These are children who have endured unimaginable trauma, and Courage Worldwide exists to offer them safety, healing, and a future worth fighting for.
When you cross the finish line — whether that’s at Lake Almanor or at the end of your driveway — you’re telling a survivor that they are seen, they are valued, and they are not alone.
Big or small. Near or far. Every act of courage counts.
