Wave Start

The swim portion of the race will be conducted by wave start. The waves will be by age group and will be limited to 75 racers per wave.

The Swim

The .9-mile swim is held in warm, crystal clear Lake Dunmore. The swim will be a two loop course which is GPS measured and lined with buoys. There will be wave starts of no more than 75 participants per wave. The swim is extremely safe as you are rarely in over 6 feet of water at any given point. There will be lifeguards in kayaks and boats at various locations monitoring the course at all times.

The Bike

The 28-mile bike is a beautiful two loop course, which we like to describe as "rolling." The route is extremely spectator friendly, open to traffic & will be monitored closely by course marshals. The elevation of the course ranges from approximately 300 ft to 650 ft The course has lots of new pavement & will be staffed w/ one aid stations giving water bottles to all participants as requested. Absolutely no drafting.

The Run

The 6.2-mile run is a GPS measured out and back course. The out and back course should provide for excellent spectator support. We will have two aid stations on the course. These stations will offer water, HEED, Hammer Gel and Clif Bars. This is a very shaded course that, like the bike course, may be described as rolling.

Post Race Meal
