  • Course Information:

  • The swim in the crystal clear waters of Redfish Lake will be cool, and wetsuits will be required. Water temperatures will be between 55-60 degrees this time of year, thus it will be a water start to get your body acclimated.
  • Watch the website for updates on the water temperatures.
  • Females will start 11 minutes prior to the first male wave. Additional wave starts will be announced at packet pick-up if necessary.
  • It is an out-and-back swim with a beach exit and the transition area close.
  • The 40k bike course is mostly flat, quite fast, and beautiful.
  • Leaving the transition area after the swim, the athletes will ride an out-and-back course that takes them through the scenic Sawtooth Valley, where there will be snow-capped mountains behind the blooming mountain wildflowers.
  • The run is a one loop course for the Sprint and a two loop course for the Olympic that circumnavigates the Forest Service roads around Redfish Lake.
  • It is all on paved roads and will feature several great viewing sites for friends and family.
  • The finish is directly in front of the Redfish Lake Lodge.
