_ The 2018 Sanford & Sun Triathlon:
Midland County Parks: Sanford Park is the setting for this great event.
We have evolved with the millions of dollars in park improvements that have transpired over the 10 year history. The park is a short fifteen minutes from Downtown Midland. Any number of sites to see in and around the Midland area.
Course Information:
The only way to describe this course is FLAT. As many Michigan residents know, the mid part of the state is nothing but flat - any hill you encounter is likely be a highway overpass. So this event is great for those looking for a fast, flat event.
The park and lake association does a great job the week leading up to the event, hiring a private weed-harvesting company for the race. By race morning, athletes enjoy a nice, clear path around the buoys on a rectangle course. So by all means, do not judge this event if you swim the course before the race, as the weeds are thick beforehand.
The bike is a flat out and back course. If you are lucky enough to get some wind at your back coming home, we have heard athletes say, "Wow, that was cool, I didn’t know I could ride that fast." Of course, you still have a headwind on the way out.
The run course is cool as it winds through a nature trail before heading out the back of the park to an out and back course. Again, very flat.
