Course Information:
Swim Course
Participants will begin in waist-deep water at the Hammerman Beach and swim directly out from shore before making a left turn around buoys. They will proceed parallel to the shore before making 2 left turns to bring them back to parallel with the shore. A right hand turn around the final buoy brings them back to the beach where they will make their way to the transition zone.
Bike Course – Map
The bike route will incorporate the scenic Chase area outside of the park – the course is basically flat with a couple of short rolling climbs. There will be police presence on the course at major intersections, but all traffic signs must be obeyed! Almost all turns are right handed. The only left hand turns are at or near the dead ends of the proceeding streets.
*There should be limited traffic interference; however the course is not closed to traffic and extra caution must be taken while riding the course!
Run Course – Map
The race finishes with a scenic 5k run inside the park on varying terrain including grass fields, asphalt roads, and a couple of short wooded trails.
Note: USAT policies allow us to make changes to the race based on weather or other unexpected issues that may arise. This includes changing from a triathlon to a duathlon, or altering the run or bike courses. Registration fees cannot be refunded for any reason.
