Swim details: the swim is a clockwise out-and-back pattern from the park beach on Lake Louisa, a shallow lake with depths up to about 8–9 feet. Water temperatures have averaged about 65–70 degrees, so wetsuits are recommended. Swim loops are repeated per distance, and athletes must wear the provided colored swim cap. No flotation devices, fins, or flippers are permitted.
Bike details: the bike loop is a 6.009 mile out-and-back measured with a Jones Counter and is largely flat with two medium hills and small rollers. Night lighting and a buckled ANSI/Snell approved helmet are required. Drafting and headphones are not allowed. Multiple bikes may be used and electricity in the race village is available for charging.
Run details: the run is a 1.00769 mile asphalt loop repeated per distance. Crew support is restricted to the village area and the race clock remains running during rests.
The event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon; athletes must present a single day USAT pass. The organizer notes collaboration with IUTA that may introduce optional standards. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
