What We’re All About
Here at camp we love being a part of the community in our neck of the woods, so in 2015 we started holding a Triathlon and 5K each year to welcome people out to enjoy camp and the beautiful setting we live in.
Lakeview Ministries is a non-profit Christian camp that serves thousands of children and families each year. We love building relationships between people and families, providing encouragement for people to grow in their faith, and giving people lots of awesome time in God’s creation. Any proceeds from this day go to support all these things.
Whether you’re racing or simply checking out the sights, young or old, fast or slow, been coming to camp all your life or have never heard of us before, ALL are welcome to come to camp for a fun time in God’s creation.

The Course
Swim
The swim for the Sprint distance consists of an 800m open water swim on Lutheran Lake. It will be an out and back with several large swim buoys providing the direction of the swim. The Olympic distance will swim this twice. Lifeguards patrolling in boats will be present during the swim. Bright swim caps will be required, and provided in the race packet you receive on race day.
Bike
The bike for the Sprint distance consists of a 12.6 miles out-and-back ride on paved country roads. The Olympic distance will bike this twice. The bike route will have several short steep climbs with a few longer climbs. After a counter clockwise lap around Lutheran Lake, the route heads east on W Lake Rd. towards Waymansville. From there, riders will go right on SR 58 for a few hundred yards, before turning left on Seymour Rd. The route continues on Seymour Rd. until the turnaround at St. Paul Lutheran Church. Bike helmets must be worn and buckled at all times. You must provide your own water bottles for the bike portion. There will be a SAG station located at the turnaround point.
Run
The run for the Sprint distance consists of a 5K on paved roads around Lutheran Lake. The Olympic distance will run this route twice. There are hills almost constantly on this route, and several steep challenging hills. There will be two water stations on the 5K course.
Overall, this course is challenging, with few flat areas and many rolling hills, as well as a few very steep, long hills spread throughout the route. Make sure to check the elevation profile for the course and prepare for hills!
