Course Information:


The Fly by Night bike course takes place entirely on the twisting, turning race track of Watkins Glen International. The track varies from 36' to 48' wide and has a 6 bank at all turns except turn 9S/5L, which is 10. Elevation changes from a low of 1,460' above sea level to 1,575', including one larger hill in "The Boot." The course will be swept and thoroughly cleaned before the race.

There are two courses used by car races at WGI - the short and long course. We will be using the long course. One loop around the race track is 3.4 miles long, and you will complete the loop three times on every bike leg. There are two bike legs in the race, making the total biking distance for the entire race 20.4 miles.

The Fly by Night run course follows roads and pathways along the infield of the race track itself. Athletes will have views of the track and, since WGI is perched high on a hill, the fertile farmland and gorges of the valley beyond. The run course begins at the transition area in Pit Row and proceeds clockwise along the red line. The first section, on Wedgewood Road, is paved, straight, and flat. The right turn onto Richardson becomes a dirt road and takes athletes past camping and along the back straight of the track. The path loops nearly 180 and becomes Canisteo Road, still dirt, and then turns left onto Cayuga Road.

A steep downhill grade takes athletes under the track and through the West Tunnel, then a gradual uphill section weaves through more camping areas as athletes bend right onto Skaneateles Road. A shaded, woodsy section accompanies the final uphill stretch before athletes descend to the footbridge, which takes them over the track and back to transition.

The run loop is 1.8 miles long, and you will complete the loop three times - once for each leg of the race. Total running distance for the entire race is therefore 5.4 miles.
