750 Yard Swim

Swim Course

All athletes must walk across the swim/check matt before the start of the 750 yard swim.  We will start from inside the swim zone at the water’s edge, near the far right side of the beach.  We will swim out and back, coming in on the far left side of the beach.  (essentially a triangle)

15 Mile - 2 Lap Bike Course

All roads are open to traffic.  Volunteers will man all intersections and stop traffic when necessary. We have turns posted using signs with purple arrows. 

Bike Course safety:

We are using the same 2 loop bike course from last year.  On your second lap you DO NOT ride down the hill back into transition.  There will be a sign that has a RIGHT ARROW to finishin & STRAIGHT ARROW to 2nd lap positioned at the top of the hill.

Our Triathlon team has ridden the updated tri course several times. It is relatively flat and fast, and very spectator friendly.

*DO NOT CROSS THE SOLID YELLOW LINES.  This is a USAT rule and carries a DQ as a penalty.  And with bike traffic running out and back on some sections of the road, it is an important safety concern.

SuperSprint athletes will be doing the same course, but just one loop.

5K Run

We will exit the parking lot on the lower side following the road out.  We will do a short out and back across the breast of the dam/across the lake, and then continue down the run course to a turn around.  On your return trip, you WILL NOT repeat the DAM-OUT AND BACK.  Volunteers will be there to direct you.

Super Sprint athletes will come directly back to the finish link after the out and back on the dam.  (super sprint turns RIGHT / sprint will continue farther LEFT)
