Course and Logistics
The swim is a loop course set close to the shore. The bike course is an out-and-back route. The run course is described as "pancake flat" and uses shaded trails. The transition area remains closed until all bikes are back, for safety reasons.
Included Services
The race kit includes a bib, swim cap, and finisher medal. The event is chip-timed, offers free race photos, and provides free on-site parking. Post-race refreshments are available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
