Swim
The swim will be a 300-yard, serpentine swim in The W pool. Each swimmer will swim up and down each lane.  Athletes may push off the wall and use flip turns. The start of the swim will begin in the pool. The swim will be a time-trial start based on the swim time that the athlete provides. To pass another swimmer, simply tap on their foot and pass them.  If you are tapped, you must allow the person behind you to pass. To exit the swim you will turn to your left by the spa and swim over to the steps.

Transition
The transition area will be on the north side of The W by the main entrance in parking lot M, while the finish line will be on the track in front of the bleachers by the inflatable finish line. A bike shop will be available for those last-minute bike issues. The bike out and in will be located on the north side, and the run out will be on the south side. Transition space will be assigned by bib number. Please rack your bike by its seat with the location number showing on the side where your wheel is down. Set up your gear next to your front tire.

Bike
The 15-mile bike ride will be a loop course. You will start and finish at The W. The course gently rolls out into scenic and friendly Midwest farm country. Roads will be open to traffic, but volunteers and law enforcement will assist with traffic direction.

Run
The run course is a 5K run consisting of three loops. Each loop includes a short run on the track and finishes at the 50-yard line in Walston-Hoover Stadium. There will be one aid station on the west side of the stadium. Water and Gatorade will be provided.

Wartburg College is centrally located between most of the major metropolitan areas of the Midwest in Waverly, Iowa, a community of 10,000 residents within the Cedar Valley metro area of about 150,000 people. Located on “The Avenue of the Saints” (Highway 27/218) that connects Minneapolis/St. Paul to St. Louis, Waverly is easily accessible.
