The Olympic swim uses a deep-water start that begins with a cruise ship ride out into the bay, a transfer to a barge, then a swim to the starting buoys and back to shore. All swim activity is on Lake Coeur d'Alene, a lake described as about 30 miles long and up to 3 miles wide.
The 40k bike route follows Coeur d'Alene Lake Drive and the Yellowstone Trail and includes uphill sections. The final 10k run follows the Centennial Trail along the Spokane River and finishes in Coeur d'Alene City Park. Food, awards and a beer garden are present at the finish area.
