Course Details
All courses consist of shorter loops within the controlled area of the state park, which the organizer states allows for greater crew involvement and safety. The swim occurs in Lake Louisa, described as a shallow lake with typical water temperatures between 65 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Wetsuits are recommended. The bike course is a 6.009-mile loop inside the park, described as mostly flat with a few hills. The run course is a 1.00769-mile asphalt loop.
Athletes are responsible for their own lighting for the bike and run segments after dark. Headphones are not permitted on the bike course, and mobile phones cannot be used for communication. All support from a crew must be provided within the designated race village area, not on the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
