Course details: the swim is a lake swim in Bowman Lake with a planned beach start, marked buoys, and lifeguard presence in kayaks. The bike follows mostly flat county roads with light rollers on the out and back section; the bike course is open to traffic with police at key intersections. The run uses paved park trails and county roads with multiple aid stations offering water and sports drinks.
Race procedures note a transition area near the main lot with up to eight bicycles per rack, mandatory helmet rules, no personal audio devices allowed, and USAT wetsuit rules based on water temperature. Contingency plans include conversion to duathlon or other formats if conditions make the swim or ride unsafe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
