Distances at a glance:

The swim is a 500-yard pool swim in a six-lane, 25-yard pool with up to four swimmers per lane; volunteer lap counters will be used and heats are seeded by submitted 500-yard swim times. The bike is a one-loop course over rolling country roads; a helmet is mandatory, drafting is not legal, and roads remain open to traffic with volunteers managing intersections. The run finishes on the Ackerman Middle School track and includes a paved walking trail segment; water is available on course.
Duathlon (run-bike-run) and Aquabike (swim-bike) follow the same course segments as the triathlon. Registration is online only and race communication is handled by email.
