Course details and format: the swim is laid out as a rectangle with long sides parallel to the shore and uses looped sections. All bike courses are out-and-back. The run follows a loop on the beach road and uses trails at the end of the beach road; the run is described as pancake flat and the trails provide full shade.
Race kit and services: the race kit includes race bibs, a swim cap, a finishing medal, Atlantic chip timing, and free race photos. Free on-site parking is available near the transition area. Post-race Subway and Tim Horton’s refreshments are provided. Dry-fit shirts are available for an additional fee in a range of sizes.
Teams and timing notes: teams of two or three are allowed. The Super Sprint uses the same distances as the Try-A-Tri but is timed while the Try-A-Tri is not. For participant safety, the transition area will remain closed until all bikes are re-racked. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
