2010 Make-A-Wish Triathlon at Sea Colony:
The Make-A-Wish Triathlon at Sea Colony is an exciting 1.5K ocean swim, 41K bike and 10K run for up to 1,000 athletes. Hosted in Bethany Beach, Del., the event is in its 27th year.
Athletes can compete as an individual or a member of a relay team. This event will also be the Delaware Qualifier for the Best Of The US competition again this year. The ocean swim, scenic bike and run courses and phenomenal post-race picnic make this race a favorite among both seasoned triathletes and weekend warriors.
All proceeds and pledges from the event benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic, a nonprofit organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. Serving the states of Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic is proud to have granted the wishes of more than 6,000 area children.

Race Course Information:
SWIM:The swim will start from the beach at Sea Colony Resort. Since it is an ocean swim, best efforts will always be made so that the swim will be with the current. Due to this fact, the route will either begin from the north or the south. Either way, both routes end at the Annapolis House.
The route itself will be a rectangle. You will go out and then turn to swim parallel to the shore for most of the swim. You'll make one final turn into shore and then head to the swim finish, designated by a red, inflatable finish line structure.
From there, run up the beach, over the timing mats and through the post-swim showers to head to the transition area.
BIKE: Our predominately flat bike course winds through some of the beautiful backroads of coastal southern Delaware for a total ride of 25.5 miles (41K).
You will start and finish at the same transition area and an aid station is available approximately half-way through the route.
Please note that all bikers are responsible for knowing the route. Carrying a cue sheet with you is recommended.
RUN: Starting from the transition area, runners will head south along Pennsylvania Avenue. Pennsylvania Avenue turns into Route 1 and runners will run along the shoulder of the road, through South Bethany.
Just prior to the "King's Grant" townhome development, runners will make a U-turn and run back along the same route toward the finish line!
There will be three aid stations on the run course and a timing mat at the turnaround.
