To utilize the great Snake River the race includes two transition areas. Transition 1 (T1): Participants will transition from their swim or initial run to the bike at the South Tourist Park. Transition 2 (T2): All participants will transition from bike to the final run at the events grounds.

Transition areas will open for set-up at 5:30 a.m. and will close at 7:15 a.m. (Everyone must be setup by 7:15 a.m.)

Both transition areas will have an aid stations with water and sports drink. Transition areas are for athletes only; family, friends, coaches, and trainers of participants are not allowed in these areas.
