The Harvard Lions Club would like to thank all athletes for their participation as all proceeds benefit the Harvard Lions Club charities.
Course Information:
Swim Course (.3 mi)
Harvard's Bare Hill Pond beach makes for an easy, knee deep, sandy start for the triathlon. Water is generally calm and the water temperature at the end of June is expected to be in the low 70's. The course is triangular and athletes will be supported by local lifeguards. Swim waves based on gender and an additional wave for anyone who needs a little more space to feel comfortable in open water swimming. For those who prefer to change into shoes for the 1/4 mi uphill run up to T1, an area will be marked off at the beach parking lot for footwear.
Bike Course (10.4 mi)
The single loop bike course starts with an initial uphill, passing apple orchards and horse farms into the town of Bolton. Athletes will make their way along rolling hills to Harvard's most popular road for biking, Prospect Hill. Enjoy breathtaking views from the top of the hill and the Fruitlands Museum vista, the historic homesite of the Alcott family, before returning to the center of town. Road marshals will be placed at all turns. Return to the transition area for the run.
Run Course (3.1 mi)
After leaving the transition area, you will run along shaded roads near Bare Hill Pond on a combination of dirt and pavement. The gently rolling course is well marshaled and has multiple water stops before you finish in front of Harvard's historic library.
