The CajunMan Triathlon begins at Airport Lake with a 1/2 mile swim. You will swim clockwise in a triangular fashion and end up at the same location that you started (on the barge).
Competitors then race down scenic Bayou Tortue Road for a 20 mile bike. The bike course consists of a mostly flat route with some rolling hills and challenging turns.
Leaving the bike/run transition, competitors will complete the triathlon with a flat 3.1 mile run on the Lafayette Regional Airport grounds with the finish line inside the Marine Survival Training Center.
We have also increased the time between wave starts. This should allow for a much safer and less congested swim.
