Sep 17 - Sep 18 Savageman Triathlon

The world’s most savage triathlon! Bike, swim and run for a great cause: fighting skin cancer.

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 participants.

6x Ironman Race Champion Dave Scott will be participating this year. Dave is a legend in the racing world. Railey Realty will also have numerous agents participating in the race this year as well. Those racing from Railey Realty are Jimmy Railey, Russell Bounds, Coelian Green, and Mike Kennedy. Railey Realty is also running the Aid Station atop Killer Miller Hill again this year passing out water and sports drinks to racers. Join us for food, drinks, and helping these athletes!
