The Traverse City Triathlon is back on Sunday, Aug. 21, with Olympic and sprint-distance races beginning in Bowers Harbor on West Grand Traverse Bay for a looped swim. The bike courses go past orchards and vineyards and over a few tough climbs. The run follows Neahtawanta Rd. along the water before turning up a dirt road into the Pyatt Nature Preserve. Athletes perform the final stretch to the finish line at Bowers Harbor Park. Info and sign up: traversecitytriathlon.com
