Cedar Lake Triathlon Series #6 : Cedar Lake, Chester, CT
This event is the sixth and final race of a six-race summer series held every other Thursday night at Cedar Lake. The program offers two race formats: an individual or relay sprint triathlon and a super sprint triathlon. Relay teams are accepted.
Distances:
- Sprint: roughly 500 yard swim, 10 mile bike, 5K run
- Super Sprint: roughly 200 yard swim, 5 mile bike, 1.7 mile run
The swim is an out-and-back open water lake swim with buoys kept to the swimmer's left. Transitions are inside a fenced area with bike racks that hold about ten bikes each; access to racks is first come, first serve. The run is an out-and-back course alongside the lake, roughly 3.1 miles for the sprint, described as flat and smooth. Bikers and runners are expected to share the roadside with runners staying on the lake side and cyclists on the opposite side.
Preregistration is required. Online registration closes at 5:00 p.m. on race day and there will be no onsite registration. Race day check-in opens in the evening and all registered participants must complete check-in before the race.
Wetsuits are encouraged when the water is below 80 degrees and strongly encouraged for at least the first two races. Aqua jogging is not permitted. In case of inclement weather the organizers may change the race to a duathlon, a 5K, or cancel it. A set of course rules applies, including helmet use, no drafting, no earbuds, and staying inside cones and lane markings. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
