The 2017 Sunrise Triathlon Series kicks off on May 7th at a new location, the BHP Billiton YMCA.  This modern facility offers a state-of-the-art 50-meter indoor pool that will allow athletes to easily traverse through one-way lanes in a snake pattern. 

Consistent with the series’ aim to gradually advance the level of difficulty from race to race, the swim, bike, and run distances gradually increase from Sunrise Tri #1 to #3.  To cap it off, Sunrise Tri #4 shifts venues to El Karubah Shrine on Cross Lake and challenges athletes to an open water swim and some rolling terrain.

Sunrise Tri #1 (5/7/17 @ BHP Billiton YMCA) begins with a 300-meter pool swim.  Next, athletes take on a two-lap, 11-mile bike on the Clyde Fant Parkway.  Last, racers finish fast with a flat 2-mile out-and-back run by Champion Lake and Shreve Island.

Sunrise Tri #2 (5/28/17 @ BHP Billiton YMCA) begins with a 350-meter pool swim.  Next, athletes take on a two-lap, 13-mile bike on the Clyde Fant Parkway.  Last, racers finish fast with a flat 2.5-mile out-and-back run by Champion Lake and Shreve Island.

Sunrise Tri #3 (6/18/17 @ BHP Billiton YMCA) begins with a 400-meter pool swim.  Next, athletes take on a two-lap, 15-mile bike on the Clyde Fant Parkway.  Last, racers finish fast with a flat 3.1-mile out-and-back run by Champion Lake and Shreve Island.

Sunrise Tri #4 (7/16/17 @ El Karubah Shrine) begins with a single-loop 600-yard open water swim in Cross Lake.  Next, athletes take on an out-and-back bike course with light rolling hills and stunning vews of Cross Lake.  Last, racers finish strong on a challenging run course through Western Hills and along the shoreline of Cross Lake.
