Kayak

The Start will be split into three Waves . Racers will make a water start in the Severn River off Bembe Beach and paddle 1 mile around three buoys and finish back at shore. Racers will then transition to their bikes in the Annapolis Sailing School parking lot. Shoes are recommended.

Bike

The 17.1 mile loop course is on paved, flat residential roads. The bike will proceed through the bayside communities including Arundel on the Bay and Bay Ridge. Racers will enjoy the bay setting and a view of the Severn River and Chesapeake Bay. Roads will be open to traffic and there is a chance riders may be stopped at the main community intersection to prevent excessive traffic backup.

Run

The 3.1 mile run is a scenic out and back run through Back Creek Park. Finish in style, where your fans and cold refreshments will be waiting.

Race Divisions Include: Male & Female ages: 15 & Under, 16-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+. Relay Teams Teams must be made up of two or three participating members.

A time clock will continue running for all participants that finish after the time cutoff. It is hoped that all participants will finish the race in less than 2 hours and 40 minutes from their kayak start time.
