    Course Information:

    Swim: a point-to-point course in Niantic Bay, an ocean bay with no waves or strong currents.  Swim waves do not exceed 100 people and we offer a special wave for first timers.

    Bike: 12-mile loop through scenic East Lyme with water views and shaded streets.  Long straight-aways along flat, sea level roads make this course popular with both experienced riders and beginners.

    Run: 3.5-mile distance takes place completely along the oceanfront area lined with cheering spectators. A spectacular beach finish caps off a perfect race. A heartfelt thank you to the volunteers and sponsors who brave the early morning hours to support the athletes.
