Course Information:



Transition Area:
• Bike racking is First Come First Served – there are no ‘bad rack spots’. Volunteers will assist with your transition set up – All are experienced triathletes. There will be PortAPots, Aid Station, and Restrooms at Transition.

Water Quality
• Water Quality will be tested on Thursday.
• Water quality tested at the SERC has been far better than other areas of the bay and is safe for swimming.
• However, hard rains could impact water quality.
• The race organizers retain the right to cancel the swim for any reason impacting safety.

Swim Course: ½ Mile
• The swim is a ¼ mile out and ¼ mile back - (½ mile total).
• Kayakers will keep swimmers on line and motor craft will keep gawkers away. S
• wimmers will be allowed to hold onto kayaks to regain composure, if needed, but not moved forward.
• SWIM EXIT will be up the boat ramp.

Bike Course: 10 miles
• Two loops. This is NOT a high speed course.
• The route will take you out the access road you took to get to Transition, then on the road you came into the Center on (Conte Wharf Rd).
• A LEFT turn onto a wide shoulder for 1 1/2 mile, then a HARD LEFT.
• This section has 3 SPEED BUMPS we were not able to remove – BE CAREFUL – DO NOT TAKE THEM AT SPEED. There will be Volunteers and cones to warn of their approach.
• Repeat the loop then turn left back to TRANSITION.
• Take your time and enjoy the flora and fauna.

Run Course: 5K
• 3.1 miles of single track trail with a few roots, fewer hills, and great scenery.
