Course Information:
The swim takes place in picturesque Katys Cove which is controlled by a causeway that allows the cold Bay of Fundy water to warm up to a comfortable 22-degree average in July. This swim course is spectacular, with lake-like conditions in a salt water swim. Athletes will then run up the hill to the Algonquin Resort and depart on their bikes which again will offer beautiful views of the Bay of Fundy and St. Croix River. Cyclists will pass by St. Croix Island where the explorer Samuel de Champlain set up camp upon discovering the region over 400 years ago. The bike course overlooks the Bay of Fundy and the USA state of Maine.
Returning to St. Andrews and the Algonquin Resort, runners will head off on one of the most spectacular run courses in the sport. Runners will have views of several islands in Passamaquoddy Bay and then run through the heart of this historic community along the St. Andrews downtown water front. Along the way, runners will also pass by one of the award winning Kingsbrae Garden which will play host to many activities race week.
