  • Course Info:

    The SWIM

    The Swim is a 1/2-mile point- to- point swim.  It starts at the far right side of Whitefish City Beach and proceeds across the small bay to a buoy.  Swimmers come back to the right corner of the public swim area.  Follow the roped area to the left side of the city beach.  We haven't a clue what the water temperature will be.  If summer weather holds it will be warm; however if there is a windstorm stirring up cold water, it will be cold.  Conclusion:  bring your wet suit.

     

    The BIKE

    The bike is a scenic 20K out -and- back traveling along Whitefish Lake.  The first and last 4 miles are flat and fast.  The middle 4 miles are challenging hills with turns that will test your conditioning and bike handling skills. Be careful the course is open to vehicular traffic and is on curvy, hilly, narrow roads.

     

    The RUN

    The Run is a 5K starting and ending at Whitefish City Beach.  90% of the course is on quiet city streets, traveling mostly on Dakota Ave. to Whitefish Lake Lodge and back.

    A pretty course, but not a five star event. I wish the swim was better laid out so that spectators could watch, and that the swim course was better measured. I was told it varied greatly (up to 200m!) from previous years. The bike was good, although the course description says the first and last 4 miles are "flat and fast" and I'd call it hilly the whole entire way. The run course was nice and safe, I enjoyed that a lot. I enjoyed the bbq after wards, and everyone was super friendly. I'd recommend it to all my tri friends!
