CANOES ARE PROVIDED! You and your partner will start in waves of about 30 on the Duck River near the Maury County Jail (thus the name). Paddle 3.5 miles until you arrive back at Chickasaw Trace Park where your bicycles await. Do one lap of our awesome MTB trails and return back to the transition box. Drop the bike and run 2.5-miles.
TEAM OR RELAY
Participants must compete with a partner so that two people will be in the canoe. If both want to do the full triathlon, then sign up as a TEAM: Partners should not stick together after the canoe portion; your finish times will be combined (added together) for finish results. Alternatively you may compete as a RELAY: Partners canoe together, then one person will continue on the bicycle while the running partner waits for the bicyclist to return. When the bicyclist finishes, he or she will tag the runner to begin the run course. Team and Relay partners will compete at the same time, but scoring results will be separate.
No personal canoes allowed. Please accept the minor differences in assigned canoes in the spirit of race, and as a condition of registering. Personally owned life jackets and single blade paddles are allowed.

Course Information:
3.5-MILES ON THE DUCK RIVER The canoe start will be near the Maury County Jail (thus the name). We will start in waves of about 30 canoes. The person in the back of the canoe hangs on to a rope strung across the river. Waves will begin 7 minutes apart. Expect the canoe trip to take 40+ minutes. Participants will need to wear shoes, water shoes, or mountain bike shoes and expect them to get wet. Life jackets must be worn; the rental companies will provide them but personally owned jackets are allowed.
8-MILE MOUNTAIN BIKE ON SINGLE TRACK The bike course will be one loop of the Chickasaw Trace Park trails minus two difficult climbs. It is almost all single-track trails in woods. There are plenty of technical (difficult and challenging) sections. After two miles the course takes on several tough climbs. Riding the course in advance is encouraged. Participants must gain some mountain bike experience on trails before racing. Beginners are welcome, but first-timers on trails may be pulled from the race. Approaching riders must be allowed to pass. Passing is generally accomplished by the approaching rider announcing, “On your left,” or “I need by,” and then the lead rider must concede and allow the pass. Helmets must be worn.
2.5-MILE TRAIL RUN The run section is on the flattest and easiest portion of the mountain bike trail. There are some terrain challenges and a long, gradual incline in the second mile. We do not expect bikes to be on the same trail portion at the same time as runners except as a backup plan if a trailer of canoes does not show. If this occurs we ask bicyclists to announce their approach and pass carefully. Relay Runners: Expect to wait 40+ minutes for your partner to return from biking. You may get wet on the canoe trip, so be prepared to stay warm with a towel or blanket or a change of clothes. Actual distance is about 300 feet short of 2.5-miles.
