Lake Ottawa and Kettle Moraine State Forest Park -Southern Unit is conveniently located just 10 - 15 minutes south of Oconomowoc off Hwy 67. Convenient to Madison, Milwaukee, Whitewater, Waukesha, and Lake Country.
The swim will be held in spring-fed Ottawa Lake, well-known for summer activities and its nice beach. The Sprint distance swim will be a rectangle course with shorter course for ½ Sprint distance participants. The Olympic Distance will be two loops of the rectangle course. Race will start in waves. SWIM CAPS ARE MANDATORY.
Lifeguards and boats will be in the water for safety . Swim buddies can be requested pre-race (A swim buddy is an experienced open water swimmer that will swim along side you for support). Wetsuit use will be governed by USAT rules, and is based on water temperatures taken on race morning. In the event water temperatures are too warm to officially allow wetsuit use, those still wishing to wear a wetsuit will start in separate waves with non-official times.
The bike course takes you west of the park and will be a fast, flat course for all distances. The Olympic distance course will be two loops.
The run will be a flat course, with a combination of paved roads, grass trail and paved trail through the park and on country roads.
The bike racks and transition area will be in a fenced off parking area for safety and security. Each participant will have a rack space and spot specifically for their gear designated by gender and age group. Racking will be done by gender, race distance and age group.
Volunteers will be on hand for assistance if necessary. One adult will be allowed in a separated transition area for participants requiring special assistance. No spectators or pets are allowed in transition. We ask in general that pets be left home for the safety and cleanliness of the triathlon area for all.
Participants will be photographed at various times during their race to capture lasting moments. These photos will be available right on-location after you finish the race, and for purchase online post race. (You will receive an email or check our website.)
