The 300 yard swim will take place in the pool at the MedWest Health & Fitness Center in Clyde, just twenty minutes from Asheville.  This clean, modern facility features a six-lane, 25 yard pool in which the athletes will swim two lengths in each lane before moving to the next lane.   The swim will feature a time-trial start with the fastest swimmers going first.  During the registration process you will be asked to submit your 100 yard swim time.  This is not the fastest you can swim 100 yards but the time you expect to average during the entire swim.

After the 300 yard swim, athletes will exit the pool area to the outside transition area. 

The bike course was redesigned in 2009 and is now a much flatter and faster track.  Athletes will ride along the scenic Pigeon River and through farmlands before heading back to the race site on a two-lane highway.  The roads will be open to the public so all participants are urged to be alert to traffic.  All intersections with a traffic light and/or turn will have law enforcement or fire departments stopping traffic.

The run will go in and out of a beautiful little cove that features rolling terrain.  Runners will stay on the right side of the road for the run.  While the road will be open to traffic, most of the course is lightly traveled.
