Nothing sums up the SavageMan Half Triathlon better than those four words uttered by a smiling, satisfied, and exhausted participant as he crossed the finish line in the SavageMan Half Triathlon.
The SavageMan Half Triathlon is the flagship event of the SavageMan Triathlon Festival and it has already established legendary status after just it's inaugural year and sell-out status in just its second year. There are many aspects that make this race a truly unique and special event:
- The spectacular race venue and extraordinarily challenging course leave no doubters to the claim of "World's Most Savage and Most Beautiful Triathlon".
- The Westernport Wall and the Westernport Wall Block Party is an experience unique to triathlon with a 31% grade lined with screaming, cowbell-ringing crazed spectators.
- The crossing of the Eastern Continental Divide at Big Savage Mountain, a 7.1 mile, 1950' elevation gain ascent with multiple, extended stretches approaching 20% is, without doubt, the most Savage climb in all of triathlon. So savage, in fact, that all athletes are timed in their ascent for the Big Savage Challenge. How will you compare to Björn Andersson's record ascent of 31:30?
- How many opportunities do you have to be permanently immortalized in triathlon history? All athletes who successully make it up the Westernport Wall cleanly will have a brick engraved with their name laid into the Wall for future Savages to ride over and fall onto!
