The city of Billings lends itself perfectly to the sport of women's triathlon, with a wide variety of facilities located both on the MSUB campus and throughout the immediate area.
Â
The MSUB pool is a 6-lane, 25 yard competition pool located in the lower level of the Physical Education building. The MSUB pool provides ample swimming access both for the triathlon team practices in addition to student/faculty usage during the more than 20 hours of designated recreational swim blocks each week. When time allows, MSUB also partners with the Billings Stingrays swimming club and several local high school swimming programs for additional community pool access.
Known for its iconic Rimrocks, the MSUB campus is located just beneath the rims which contain endless running and biking trails. Etched out by the Yellowstone River, the Rimrocks also provide both the name and playground for the Yellowstone Rim Runners, the community running group in Billings devoted to promoting a healthy lifestyle through running in addition to hosting and supporting many community activities.

Â
Lake Elmo State Park is just a few miles north of campus, and is the setting for two major triathlons hosted by the city of Billings every summer. Lake Elmo provides perfect open water swimming opportunities with the added bonus of several miles of trails surrounding the lake.

A major advantage of being a student-athlete at MSUB includes unlimited, free access to Granite Fitness, a local fitness club with three locations in Billings. Loaded with spin bikes, treadmills, and even a swimming pool, our partnership with Granite provides endless fitness and training opportunities to help ensure our triathletes achieve peak performance.
