Course Information:

SWIM COURSE (300 yards)

The swim is in the 50 yard outdoor pool. This pool has been resurfaced for this year, with new lane lanes, etc... beautiful! You will enter the pool in an "interval start" fashion. Participants line up by race number (beginning with the lowest number to the highest.) Race Numbers are assigned based on your estimated swim time you submitted when you registered. If you would like to start at the back, that is fine. Your racking position in transition is also organized by your race number.

 

One person at a time enters the pool and begins swimming when given the start command. Swim down the first lane, touch the wall, go under the lane rope, swim down that lane, and continue the same process until you exit after swimming 6 lengths for a total of 300 yards. While you are entering the pool by estimated swim time, someone may need to pass you. We encourage participants to pass ONLY at the wall. If someone taps your foot, please stop at the wall and let them go under the lane rope before you. When you exit the pool, volunteers will direct you to the transition area where you will begin your bike segment of the race.

 

BIKE COURSE

The bike course is a 16.5 mile loop of rolling, mostly rural roads through farms and open land in Wilson County. Roads have a great surface (the park was resurfaced the last week of June 2005) with a rough area of older road surface as you enter back into the park the last three miles. The edges of the road have some washing and there is significant "bumpiness" in areas of miles 13-1/2 until about 15-1/2. This portion is also very shady which affects visibility. Please note that many, many road bikes have traversed this course over the past few years at this race and for recreational rides (including one of your race directors)- so we are confident it is ok to ride, please just show general caution on this last segment.

 

There are small bridges at around mile 14 and just after mile 15 that will be covered with carpet. You will be able to ride your bike over these bridges, but we ask that you slow down as you approach. If you are training on the course prior to the race, you can ride over the bridges as they are, but do so with caution. Overall, this is a beautiful, well paved course for over 13 miles - expect a couple of good hills with nice recovery down hills between miles 3 and 5, and again between miles 8 and 10. One final short steep climb at mile 12 will send you into the park for a mostly flat finish.

 

RUN COURSE

The run course is a 3 mile out-and-back course on the state park roads. Not very hilly for most of the course, mostly flat with some slight inclines and rollers and one short steep hill just before the run turnaround.

 

There will be two aid stations with water and powerade, one about 1/2 way (0.8 miles) to the turnaround, and one at the turnaround. Water and powerade will also be available as you leave the transition for the start of your run.
