Place
South Haven, MI US 49090
Description
When you are on the beach in South Haven on South Beach looking out over beautiful, crystal clear Lake Michigan, it is easy to think Miami. South Haven is miles of white sandy beach with a great little downtown featuring unique stores and restaurants to visit. And of course, there’s the venue. This course will not disappoint, with both bike and run courses taking you along Lake Michigan and back. Both courses are flat and fast. You will have one short climb up out of the South Beach area.
Courses
The swim is in beautiful, crystal clear Lake Michigan, which can sometimes get a little rough, so you need to understand that. Of course your safety is always our first priority and will not be compromised. Most years the water has been smooth, but it is well documented that Lake Michigan can get violent and cold literally in an hour’s time. So you need to understand when participating in any event on the Great Lakes, this is possible.
The bike is shaded almost the entire way with rolling smooth roads.
The run course is flat, except at the long course turnaround. This year’s finish line has been moved off the beach, so no finish with stairs and a beach run. You will come back down the run out Bike In/Out downhill driveway. Overall this is a really fun, scenic course along Lake Michigan.
