Swim

The 70 acre lake is spring fed and chlorinated for optimal swim conditions.  The race will almost certainly be wetsuit legal with race day temperatures typically 65-70 degrees.  The 70.3 mile distance [1.2 miles] & Olympic distance [0.93 miles] competitors will circumnavigate Boney Island counterclockwise.  The Sprint distance [300 yards] competitors will swim a u-shaped route. Buoys are always on the swimmer's left shoulder.

Bike - Presented By Performance Bike

Safety is our #1 concern so the bike course is completely closed to vehicles.  Police, traffic control officers & experienced, well-trained volunteers will insure your safety along the entire course.   This is a PR course which is almost completely flat with 80% on pristine asphalt. Timing mats will be placed on course to record split times and to insure that the proper distances were completed.

• Sprint - 1 circuit - 9.81 miles

• Olympic - 3 circuits - 24.53 miles

• 70.3 mile  - 7 circuits + 1 "mini-lap" - 55.64 miles

 

The mini-lap, pictured above is completed after the 7 full circuits on the 70.3 mile course and only then should the athlete return to transition.
