- Course Info: The CajunMan Triathlon begins at Airport Lake with a 1/2 mile swim. Competitors then race down scenic Bayou Tortue Road for a 20 mile bike. The bike course consists of a mostly flat route with some rolling hills and challenging turns. Leaving the bike/run transition, competitors will complete the triathlon with a flat 3.1 mile run on the airport grounds. The swim course is 800 meters and is a point-to-point swim. The swim start is adjacent to the transition area. You will start at this location swim counter clock-wise and exit the water as we have done in the past (on the barge).
- Directions To Race: The race will be held in Lafayette, Louisiana at beautiful and clean Airport Lake (home of the 1995 and 1997 NCAA Water Ski Champions – ULL Ragin’ Cajuns). The race site is located off Hwy. 90 South (S.E. Evangeline Thruway) directly behind the Cypress Tree Inn, adjacent to the Lafayette Regional Airport.
