Course Information:

Swim Information

The swim will take place in the Dalton Parks swimming pool.  This pool is a 50-meter pool with lane lines in place.  Unless you are a junior, who only swim one length of the pool, you will enter the water and swim back and forth the length of the pool until your distance is complete.  This will be done in a “snaking” fashion.  For example, if you are an adult, you will swim down one lane, go under the lane line, and swim back in the next lane until you have completed all six lengths where you will then exit the pool on the ladder or side.

Please remember that the pool IS NOT available until your race begins.  There are NO warm-ups.

Athletes will line up based on ability.  Be Honest!

Bike Information

The bike course is a flat, fast, 4-mile course with several turns.  If you are a junior, you will only be completing half of the course.  If you are an intermediate/senior you will be completing one loop of the course.  If you are an adult, you will be completing three loops of the course.

Counting your loops is YOUR responsibility!  The turn around for the adults to do additional laps is clearly marked at the corner of Morningside and Civic Drive.

No drafting and No blocking.  Those caught drafting/blocking will be assessed a 2-minute penalty.  Passing shall take place on the left side and shall be called out to the rider you are approaching.

The mount/dismount line will be clearly marked.  DO NOT be on your bike on the transition side of this line.

All athletes are required to wear a hard shell helmet, which shall be securely fastened before leaving transition.

No headphones, ear buds, or any radio-type device will be allowed.

Run Information

The run course is an out and back flat course.  There will be an aid station on the run course with water.  Please note that adults must complete two laps.

As you are approaching the finish you will transition from the road, to the parking lot, to the curb, and through the gate onto the AstroTurf field.  Be careful in this section!

No headphones, ear buds, or any radio-type device will be allowed.
