There will be approximately 12 waves.  The waves will be put together base on individual swim times for the 325 yards.  Each swimmer must submit their swim time for the 325 yards on their registration.

Duathlon 1st Run

For duathletes and duathlete relays the first portion of the race will start with a 1.5 mile run.  The race start will take place at the entrance of the Casco Bay YMCA.  The duathletes will start when the 1st wave of the swim starts.

Bike

The bike course consists of 12 miles out and back through scenic South Freeport. These country roads are low traffic roads with rolling hills and some big climbs. On race day the course will be well marked and supported with plenty of volunteers.  There will be no aid station on the course.  We will have bike support if you need help on race day. There will be some challenging hills for first time triathletes.  Please be prepared. We encourage you to meet some friends at the Casco Bay YMCA in Freeport and ride the course together prior to the race.  Maps are available at the front desk.

Run

This is a 3-mile course that is fairly flat with one long slow climb.  It will take you to through a quiet South Freeport neighborhood.   There will be aid stations at mile 1 and at mile 2.

Transition

The transition area will be located in the airnasium at the Casco Bay YMCA. The transition area will open at 7:00 am on race morning and will close approximately 15 minutes before the start of the race.

Before entering the transition area on race day you will be body marked, and your bike will be checked for working brakes and you will also be checked to make sure you have a proper bike helmet.

Your transition area will be marked with your race number.  You need to place your bike on the side of the rack that your number is located. You will get approximately 2 feet of space for your bike and all the equipment you need for the race.

Once the race starts, only volunteers and race management is allowed in the transition area.  Athletes that have started the race may enter the transition area.  No other athletes will be allowed in the transition area while the race is in progress. After you have finished the race, you will not be allowed back into the transition area until the last person has transitioned from their bike to the run.

Finish

After you have crossed the finish line, post race refreshments will be provided.  We will also have other post race festivities.  Please enjoy your day!

Relay teams are made up of two or three people.
Two person relays; One person will do two legs of the race while the other does one.
A three-person relay will require each person to do one leg of the race.
Relays are required to tag off at the transition area.  The cyclist cannot take his bike off the rack until the person doing the first leg of the race (either swim or 1st run) has tagged the biker.  The cyclist cannot tag the runner before re-racking the bike.
