All major rental car agencies are present at Denver International Airport. There is also shuttle bus service between Denver International Airport and Fort Collins: Groome Transportation.
Transportation from Fort Collins to Horsetooth Reservoir
Fort Collins has over 50 miles of bike paths and a public bus system. However, getting to the race start or swimmer pick-up area will require a car if you are staying at a hotel/motel/B&B – none of them are within walking distance of Satanka Cove or South Bay and the public bus system does not go to either location.
Air Travel
Denver International Airport (DEN) (70 miles away) is the primary airport serving the Fort Collins area. It is serviced by all the major airlines.
Cheyenne Airport (CYS) is closer (45 miles away), but has fewer direct flights.
