Location: DeGray Lake Spillway, Skyline Dr, Arkadelphia, AR

email: DLTevents@yahoo.com

Course Info: 2005 USAT National Championship Long Course Triathlon.

Swim: DeGray Lake: rated as one of the top 10 cleanest fresh water lakes in America by the Army Corp of Engineers. You can actually drink it, and some do during the swim. The Swim is a clock wise, with a deep water start. The Entry and Finish area is on a large concrete boat ramp. Be careful when you stand up at the end of the swim. USAT rules will apply.

Bike:. Well, here's the honest truth, is it's not a totally flat course! The Bike Course is a deceptively fast out and back course with several short steep climbs and a 5 mile gradual climb to the top of Iron Mountain from both directions. The first and last 20 miles contain several climbs and fast descents. From mile 20 - 35 it's fast and flat. For the most part if there is any wind you will be shielded from it by the trees. Most of the bike course travels through uninhabited timber land in the foot hills of the Ouachita (Wash-she-ta) Mountains If you take a few seconds along the way you will see some absolutely beautiful vistas. • Aid Stations are at the following locations: 8 miles, 14 miles, 23 miles, 33miles, 42 miles and 47 miles.

Run: The course is two loops of a tree lined route. Between 11pm and 2pm there will be very little shade. • Aid Stations will be approximately every mile. They will be stocked with ice, water, sports drink, energy gel, a salty food, bananas and oranges.

Directions To Race: From I-30 take exit 78 (Hwy 7 north) Go approx 2.5 miles turn left onto Skyline Drive. Spillway area is 1mile on your right.

Bike 8.5 miles, Run 3.5 miles, Paddle 7 miles

Location: Glenwood Althletic Club

email: caddoriver@canoemail.com

Course Info: Come join us for one of South West Arkansas most fun and UNIQUE triathlons! The momentum for this event grows each and every year! For those of you who are serious "Iron Men/Women", this would be an excellent warm up for the longer events, but for those who have always wanted to do a triathlon, but may be afraid of dying along the way, this just might be what you're looking for!

Start with an 8.5 mile bike through the southern Ouachita Mountains from Glenwood to Caddo Gap.

Depending on whether you're competing as a single or as a team, you will canoe (team) or kayak (single) 7 miles down the Caddo River to the Hwy 70 bridge back in Glenwood.

Finally you will run the 3.5 miles back to the starting point, or, if you're a team, the person who did not bike will be the one to do the run.

More: On top of all the awards presented we have giveaways, and drawings for all participants to have a chance at winning. Prizes in the past have included a brand new Old Town sit-on-top kayak like the ones used in the race. We're also expanding the days events to include an afternoon "triathlon" type challenge at the Glenwood Golf Club for those interested, and a Chuck Frazier Chevrolet "Cruise Night" auto show in the evening.

Directions To Race: Glenwood is just 35 miles west of Hot Springs, or 35 miles north of Arkadelphia. From either Little Rock or Texarkana we're an easy hour and a half to get to.
