Our bike course, 13.3 miles, will offer a little bit for everyone, from the 100 meter climb out of the transition area to the 2.5 mile decent on the way home, and a great flat section in between, this is a little bit of what to expect from Series 33 Triathlon, nothing is going to be easy. The run course, 3.1 miles, is in and around the campus on sidewalks and closed to traffic streets.

The Mt Hood Sprint Triathlon Bike Course is challenging and 13.3 miles long. There are a couple of shorter challenging climbs and a 2 mile 3-5 degree section that will zap your legs quickly if you dont monitor your output. For experienced riders, a 11-25 rear gear selection should be adequate. For those of you with a little less time in the saddle it might be wise to prepare with a 12-27 or 28. Your riding up on the way out, a nice flat section for approximately 3.5 miles and then down on the way home. Most of the course has good pavement and some shoulder, there are a couple of sections with no shoulder. Please be a good competitor and stay right except to pass. When overtaking another athlete please let them know your there, on your left, is good cycling educate, whether racing or training.
