The 2.5k, 5k, 10k course will consist of a 2.5k out-and-back style loop, marked by large buoys on the corners and sighting buoys in between. The start is in-water, waist deep, and the finish takes place on the beach. There is a floating dock near the start/lap buoy where those in the 5k and 10k may place fuel.
