Directions:
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Swim: 1500 meters (~1640 yards)
Swim will start upstream of ditto landing. Buses will provide transportation from the transition area to the other side of Ditto Landing near the river greenway entrance. Buses will begin running at 5:30. After the bus drops you off, you will have to walk another ~1/2 mile to the swim start. Wear shoes, and we’ll have a shoe drop directly adjacent to the swim start. If you choose to walk the entire distance, just be aware that the full walk is about 1.5 miles. You will enter the water in a time trial format, seeded by racer provided finish time. You will swim a short ~220 yard segment upstream before turning around and swimming downstream. Please be aware that excess rain and TVA water management can cause river flow rates to increase beyond a safe level. We reserve the right to shorten the swim or cancel it altogether at race director discretion.
BIKE: 40.9 km (25.4 miles)
The bike course is an out and back (with a short lollipop on the far end) along country roads with lots of police support to control/limit traffic and ensure racer safety. All turns will be controlled by volunteers while major turns while be controlled by sheriff deputies / Huntsville Police.
There will be NO aid stations on the Rocketman bike course. However, our bicycle sponsor (Bicycle Cove) will be on the course providing SAG support
RUN: 10 kilometers (6.21 miles)
The Run Course is a single out and back along Aldridge Creek Greenway, free of traffic hazards, mixed shade, and a whopping 5 aid stations with water/Powerade provided by our awesome run course sponsor (Fleet Feet of Huntsville). Four of the five aid stations will have portajohn. Aid station #3 (At the intersection of Green Cove Road and the greenway) will have ice cold wash rags. Aid stations will be at the following locations:
Mile 0.85*, Mile 2.25*, Mile 3.2, Mile 4.1*, Mile 5.5*
Any athlete that fails to adhere to THESE directions will need to reenter the course where they left. If you miss a turn, or fail to turn around at the correct spot, that is officially on you per USAT rules.
