SavageMan - World's Most Beautiful and Most Savage Triathlons! Are you interested in a race that will one minute leave you gasping for breath on a steep climb and the next minute leave you gasping in awe at a stunning vista?
Would you like a race where there are challenges beyond just how fast you can go or what place you can finish?
Do you like finisher's shirts, medals, and other keepsakes? How would you like opportunity to stake your claim to triathlon immortality and earn a personalized engraved brick laid in the road of the steepest climb in all of triathlon?
Are you frustrated with drafting packs and bland, uninspiring courses at mediocre venues?
Are you interested in a race where all of the proceeds go to support melanoma research?
Deep Creek Lake and the pristine, rugged Allegheny Mountains of western Maryland, provide a venue of unmatched beauty and stunning scenery, and feature two courses that will certainly bring out the true "Savage" in all who come to conquer, from the competitive Ironman racer to the leisurely back-of-the-pack or novice participant. Whether swimming in the crystal clear Deep Creek Lake, riding the smooth, remote, and challenging roads of Garrett County, or running on Deep Creek State Park trails and the surrounding lakeside roads, the SavageMan Triathlon Festival races will challenge and awe every participant.
If such a triathlon event appeals to you then you will love the SavageMan Triathlon Festival.
Are You Savage Enough?
How hard is the SavageMan really? Am I Savage Enough?
That is a question only you can answer. The bike course of the SavageMan 70.0 Triathlon is extreme and is legitimately the toughest 56 mile bike in triathlon with 5800 feet of climbing nearly all gained in the middle 30 miles and 7 climbs with pitches in excess of 15%. It is a course that leaves no one unimpressed and no one unhappy, but it is also a course not to underestimate.
The SavageMan 30.0 Triathlon, on the other hand, is a course designed for the more mainstream triathlete. A "Garrett County flat" and rolling bike - with one steep climb included to earn the SavageMan pedigree - and a gentle, rolling run deliver a SavageMan race with all the beauty and just a small sampling of the hills!
