2011 Terrapin Tri-County Adventure Race:

  • This is a tough challenge - 3 of 2010 race did not complete it, one finished in 6.5 hours and the winner in 3.5 hours.
  • The toughest part is the run.
  • Official timing lasts 6 hours.
  • The 'adventure' is in your fortitude to finish it. If you like triathlons, then this race is why you have trained. Can you do it in less than 3 hours?
  • Put together a team - Jacksonville State University racers were our 2010 team winners.

  • Course Information:

  • The road run paved portion is steep and long going up and woods portion steeper in a shorter distance coming down - it's best to practice this in advance.
  • The paddle portion is a very short, 1.5 mile, Class One, white water challenge; however, the creek forks and you best practice which direction you like best.  We suggest sit-on-top kayaks, but you can bring a canoe. On our site are six area kayak vendors.
  • The bike road portion with 15 intersections is for road bikes, all paved, a little hilly mid-way, then flat and fast the last 13.8 miles.
  • Directions:

    Go to Piedmont, AL in Calhoun County, Al, then go East on County Road 70 over the mountain into Cleburne County to County Road 94, turn right and follow that to the campground. 

    Or go to Heflin, AL in Cleburne County on Interstate 20, and take highway 49 through the hills to Borden Springs, then County Road 70 to County Road 94, turn left, go to Campground.  Or take highway 9 from Heflin to Piedmont.

    The MapQuest and Google directions will send you from Piedmont onto County Road 94 before going over the mountain - do not do that, for the last of 3 bridges is condemned and blocked.
