Course Information:

Swim

300 meter pool "snake" swim (25 meter pool).

Racers start one at a time, swim up and down lane 1, go under the lane line and repeat in lanes 2 through 6 for a total of 300 meters. Swimmers will start at 10-15 second intervals. Swim caps are not required for pool swim triathlons.

The swim cut-off time is 15 minutes.

Bike

The bike course is a rolling to flat, crazy eight-shaped course through rural parts of Henrico, Hanover, and Goochland Counties. Police & directional volunteers will be at all major intersections. The actual course distance is somewhere between 11.9 - 12.1 depending on what device you use to measure it.

Run

Basically a flat out and back through one of Richmond's premier neighborhoods, Twin Hickory. There will be aid stations at the 1 mile mark, that you will hit again at the 2 mile mark on your way back.

Transition

You will exit the lap pool and run along a carpeted path through the family pool, along the exterior of the YMCA building, and to the asphalt parking lot. Exit the transition area at the end facing Twin Hickory Road towards the mount line. As you mount, stay to the LEFT of the cones as you make a left turn onto Twin Hickory.

You will return on Twin Hickory through the same entrance/exit, and again, stay LEFT of the cones to the reach the dismount line. Enter transition through the "top" and exit through the "bottom", or the same end you entered from the swim. You'll make a U-turn to your right to start the run course, where you'll find a water/Gatorade station.
