The 1st Annual Tricky Trout Paddle Triathlon took place on July 26, 2025.

The Tricky Trout Returns on July 25th, 2026. Mark your calendars! Register here.

There are three classes of race to choose from

• Solo – compete as an individual against other individuals
• Tandem – compete as a team of two against other tandem teams: paddle together, combine your run and bike times
• Relay – compete as a team of two or three against other relay teams: one person per leg (if a team of two, one person can complete two legs)

The Tricky Trout Triathlon is being organized by the Hayward Curling Club. Proceeds from the race benefit the club.

New this year

• Staggered Paddle start times (every 30 seconds)

• After party at the Hayward Curling Club with food and beverages
• Now open to ages 12-18. Under 14 on the date of the event must participate as a tandem team (paddle together) with a team mate over the age of 18.
