Course Information:


This years course will now remain the same with the exception of one small change to the bike course (noted in the bike course description). The course consists of a 12 mile ocean water swim, bike leg of 13.7 miles and a 3.1 mile run. The swim portion of the race will be a straight point to point, starting at either the north or south end of Assateague Beach pending on which way the current is running, and heading down current back to the State Park area. From the beach athletes will head to transition which will be set up in the overflow parking lot of the State Park facilities. From here they will mount bikes and head straight out across Verrazono Bridge, down Rt. 611 to a designated turn around area and back to transition to dismount and start the last leg of the race. The run leg will stay on Assateague Island for 3.2 miles of fast, flat running! Then on to the Finish chute back at the transition area. We have been given permission to increase the race limit to 650 athletes. Last year the event closed out early so do not hesitate on registering for this years event. An awesome race with great terrain, plenty of scenery and tons of excitement. Medical assistance will be available at the transition area. To help aid our medical personnel please fill out any medical history on the back of your race bib. Medical staff can withdraw any participant who they feel is at risk of personal health hazard or safety. The event will take place rain or shine. OC Tri-Running Sports Inc. reserves the right to cancel or postpone event if climate conditions are at extremes. No refund will be given in this case. Any returned checks will be charged a minimum of $20.00. Any negative confrontation to staff, medical staff, volunteers, or other such personnel will not be tolerated and may result in legal actions. This course will be well marked, coned and/or barricaded, but you will still be running on public roads so use extreme caution and pay attention to traffic. It is your responsibility to read and understand all event information that will be given to you. Make sure you understand all safety information. Waivers must be signed before participating in this event. It is the goal of the event organizers to give everyone the most scenic, fun filled course while maintaining safety as a top priority.
