Introducing New SavageMan International Triathlon "TRI-TO-WIN" Events presents the SavageMan Triathlon Festival on September 21, 2008 featuring the widely-acclaimed SavageMan Half and the debut of the new SavageMan International triathlon. The 2007 SavageMan Half was a huge success and and left no doubts of the claim, "World's Most Savage Triathlon!"

Feedback from the inaugural Savages was overwhelmingly positive and the word is out about this one-of-a-kind triathlon event.

World's Most Beautiful and Most Savage! 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 every participant.

Are You Savage Enough?

"TRI-TO-WIN....the fight against melanoma" Events benefit the Joanna M. Nicolay Melanoma Foundation – the SavageMan Festival organizer and host. Melanoma is the most serious and lethal form of skin cancer accounting for 79% of all skin cancer deaths. This savage cancer is a potential threat to the full spectrum of active and casual outdoor sports enthusiasts - and that especially includes triathletes. All proceeds benefit the Foundation known as, the "voice of melanoma prevention, detection, care and cure."
