1986 – A ‘Fit Fest’
Don Haugo, organizer of Fit-Fest 1986 in Northfield, had the idea to hold the first Annandale Triathlon. The Fit-Fest was a series of competitive and noncompetitive running, biking, swimming, rollerblading, walking, aerobic, and multi-sport events lasting from July 18-20. The Annandale Triathlon was one of six other events in Minnesota that were part of the 1986 Fit-Fest. The Annandale Triathlon was comprised of a half mile swim, 23.7 mile bike ride, and a five mile run.
