This race is sanctioned by USA Triathlon. All RULES apply.
Sprint Triathlon - 300 Meter Swim (Pool) | 10 Mile Bike| 3.1 Mile Run
Aquabike - 300 Meter Swim (Pool) | 10 Mile Bike
RACE START
This race will use a time trail start (participants will start one person at a time, every 5 seconds). The swim will be self-seed based on your individual 100-yard pool swim time. Fastest swimmers will line up first.
How to determine your 100 meter time:
Time yourself swimming one length of a pool at 60% effort. Multiply this time by 4. This is your 100-meter time. Example: Mary swims one length of the pool in 45 seconds. It will take her 180 seconds to complete 4 lengths of the pool. Her 100-meter time is 3 minutes. Please know your time for race morning.
SWIM COURSE
The swim will take place in the 25 meter, 4 ft deep outdoor pool. Triathletes will complete a "snake swim" in the pool. Participants will start at lane one and swim down and back in that lane. Then duck under the rope and go down and back in lane 2. This is repeated for all 6 lanes, completing 12 lengths of the pool (300 meters). Flip turns are not allowed. Triathletes will exit the pool and must walk while on the pool deck until they pass through the pool gate to the transition area. To view the swim course map, click HERE.
WET SUIT POLICY
Wet suits are not permitted for this race.
BIKE COURSE
The bike course is a 10 mile loop that starts and ends in the park. BIKE COURSE IS NOT CLOSED TO VEHICLE TRAFFIC. You must use caution and make your own judgement call when turning at each intersection. Volunteers are at the turns to ensure you know where to turn but will not be controlling traffic. You must obey all traffic laws and use good judgment when on the course. We will mark the turns with signs and plan to have road guards with yellow vests and orange flags at the turns. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO DRIVE THE BIKE COURSE to ensure you know where to turn. It is your responsibility to know the course. If a guard is not at his/her post there will be posted signs to follow. Maps and turn-by-turn directions are available on our website. Caution: there is a railroad crossing at mile 9.5. We advise that you come out of your drops when crossing the tracks as it is a bumpy crossing. To view the bike course map, click HERE.
RUN COURSE
The 5K run course is an out and back course on 100% paved surface. The course will navigate the park path and park road. To view the run course map, click HERE.
You must wear your race number (bib#) on your front during the run. This is required for accurate timing at the finish line and will aid the photographers in identifying you on the run. If you have no number at the end you may not get a finish time. You will be disqualified if you do not complete the entire course.
