Event details and schedule

Race will start at 8:30 am

Kids triathlon will start at 9:45 am or when everyone is done with the Duathlon!

Parking- There is a parking lot on Stowell that will be open for parking and to get to the pool just go straight when you go onto campus from stowell (bus drop off area) we will be set up right next to the pool for registration. There is also parking on Thornburg but it's a little more of a walk to get to the stowell entrance, and of course there is always the JC Penny parking lot across the street.

The Swim- After finishing the first part of the run for the duathlon, participants will enter the water feet first in the shallow end of the pool. The pool course of 350 yards will snake back and forth through the pool with the help of lane lines and will end in the deep end of the pool where you will get out and continue to the last leg of the race which is a 1.5 mile run.
