COURSE
The swim will be in the beautiful James River, it is typically low 60s, peaceful, and best of all - NO JELLYFISH OR NETTLES! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU WEAR A WETSUIT!
The bike course is rural and with some challenging hills, through eastern Henrico County toward Battlefield Park.
The run is a handful with some challenging hills on Canal street downtown before you hit the scenic river overlook @ Oregon Hill.
We are proud to bring you by Virginias State Capitol before returning to the post race party @ Rocketts.
