Relay Teams

Relay teams must consist of two athletes and three at the most. Relay teams are highly encouraged for those who would like to experience a triathlon but are not quite ready to do all three events combined. It is the perfect way to try a tri for those new to the sport or others who may be coming back from an injury. 

Transfers/Refunds

Refunds will be accepted until April 1 minus a $40 fee per individual and $60 fee per team. After April 1, no refunds will be given. You must submit an e-mail to katelucas@live.com to receive a refund. 

If for any reason a racer would like to transfer their entry to a Relay team, a $15 race transfer fee will apply along with any difference in registration costs. 

Participants who swap or sell their race number will not be allowed to race and will be subject to disciplinary action by USAT. 

All course maps can be found on the race website at www.charlottesvillemultisports.com 

Olympic Swim Course

The .9 mile (1500meter) swim will start from the wide beach of Lake Monticello and follow a clockwise triangular course back to the beach. There will be approximately 3 swim waves starting 4 minutes apart. Final waves will be determined by Saturday at Packet Pickup. See Wetsuits/Water Temperature information below for more details. 

Olympic Bike Course

The bike is a 24 mile scenic aero-bike friendly course with long flat stretches mixed with moderately rolling hills. The last few miles will be a nice overall downhill before you begin the run.  Please click on the maps elevation profiles for further details. There will be an aid station with a water bottle handoff at approximately mile 15 just after taking a sharp right turn onto Martin King Rd. 

Olympic Run Course

The run is a 6.2 mile mostly out and back course in the friendly neighborhood of Lake Monticello. Runners will experience flat stretches mixed with moderate hills. Homeowners will be cheering you on right from their front yards. As you come home into the finish there will be a scenic view of Lake Monticello and a celebration circle of post race food and drinks. There will be three aid stations at the run start and approximately mile 2 and mile 4 with water and Lemon Lime Heed by Hammer Nutrition.

Swim Start & Exit

Both the Olympic .9 mile swim and the Half Iron 1.2 mile swim will be a clockwise triangular course. They are the same course but Turn Buoy #2 will be placed further out on the Half Iron course to provide the .3 mile longer distance. Each will start and finish from the wide beach shore of Lake Monticello. After exiting the swim, participants will run approximately 50 meters on sand and smooth boardwalk to the asphalt based transition area. 

Wetsuits / Water Temperatures

Lake Monticello water temperatures average in the 60’s for this time of year. Last years May 1, 2011 water temperature was 69 degrees. Wetsuits can be either purchased or rented from the official wetsuit and rental partner XTERRA Wetsuits. Look for the race e-newsletters with special XTERRA Wetsuit offers up to 50% off regular price. 

The Lake Monticello venue is a gated community and closed to all non-residents. All residents and their guests must follow the Lake Monticello Owner’s Association rules for swimming in the lake.
