Swim - The R.A.T. Race will begin at the Cascade Swim Center. The swim requires completion of 20 lengths of the 25 meter lap pool. Your estimated 500 meter swim time is needed to determine your race heat and assign your start time.

Bike - The 12 mile bike course begins and ends at the Cascade Swim Center parking lot. The course will have a nice variation in scenery and elevation changes. The circuit leads bikers along the outskirts of our city on newly paved county roads and back through the residential areas of Redmond to the pool. Ride on the right side of the road and pass to the left. Drafting, defined as being within 3 bike lengths of the rider in front of you, is not allowed. Flaggers and volunteers will be at intersections along the race course, but ALL RACERS must obey traffic laws. This course is not closed!

Run - Competitors will head down into our famed Dry Canyon to begin their 5k run along a peaceful paved pathway though the heart of Redmond. This will be a down and back leg with completion taking place around the Redmond High School track just west of the pool.
