NEWS AND UPDATES

NEW FOR 2008: We have added a killer International Distance race. This International Distance course will feature all the excitement of The Grand Columbian starting with the swim in Banks Lake, bike finish across the Grand Coulee Dam and the run along the Columbia River on a packed gravel trail. More details soon.

The North American Club Challenge. In recognition of the many club members who come to the Grand Columbian to compete together, we have created an opportunity to win big for your club. All USAT, TriBC and ATC sanctioned clubs are eligible. Go to the Awards page for details.
