Course Information:
| The Swim The Ohio River in downtown Louisville will serve as the venue for the swim portion of this event. The sprint distance will start from the River Stage in Jeffersonville and finish on the banks of Buckhead Mountain Grill on the Jeffersonville riverfront. The Olympic distance will take off on the Kentucky side of the Ohio come across the river to the Indiana shoreline then downstream to finish on the banks of Buckhead Mountain Grill in Indiana! |

| The Bike | ||
| The bike course will take participants through a scenic and fairly flat 12 mile loop (Olympic Distance will do 2 loops). The sprint distance is 20 kilometers and the Olympic distance is approximately 40 kilometers. This course will run along the Ohio River on the Jeffersonville side along Utica Pike. Expect great volunteer and police protection along the way. | ||
| The Run | ||
| The run course will take you across the 2nd Street Bridge into downtown Louisville and past the brand new KFC Yum Center, home to the University of Louisville Cardinals Basketball teams! While the sprint distance triathletes will make a quick turn around at the base of the bridge, the Olympic distance will pass under the bridge down to the river and run along the river on the famed Louisville River Walk on an out and back. They will turn around and come back across the bridge to finish on Riverside Drive (Restaurant Row) in front of Buckhead Mountain Grill. For the most part, the course is flat and fast. The Sprint Distance is 3.1 miles, while the Olympic Distance is 6.2 miles. Dont worry as we will have hydration stations and time clocks approximately every mile along the way! |
