Kingdom Games

Running – Biking – Swimming – Triathlon – Kayaking

In the heart of the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont

and the Eastern Townships of Quebec

Kingdom Games – a series of running, biking, swimming, triathlon, and kayaking events – have drawn thousands of participants, their friends and families from 36 different states, five Canadian provinces, Mexico, Great Britain, and as far away as Mumbai, India. They take place in one of the most beautiful areas of the nation, the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, which was one of the very first geo-tourism areas in the world specially designated by National Geographic. Vermont Sports selected The Dandelion Run as one of the five most scenic running races in Vermont. Yankee Magazine selected “The Dandy” as one of the 20 best events of Vermont’s summer in 2011. The Daily News of Open Water Swimming selected Lake Memphremagog and Lake Willoughby as two of the 50 great open water swimming venues in all of the Americas. World Open Water Swimming Association has selected Kingdom Swim to host the World Open Water 10 Mile Championships for the next 5 years. And the reviews by participants themselves explain why over half of them return each year to one or more of these great events. Here’s our typical lineup:
