The bike course mixes residential and rural roads with flat sections and small rollers; Olympic racers complete two loops. A BIKE MOUNT / DISMOUNT LINE is used; athletes walk bikes from the rack to the mount line and back at dismount. The run is on a paved trail along Lake Guntersville; sprint racers complete one out-and-back loop and Olympic racers complete two loops.

Race options include individual triathlon, swim-bike, bike-run, aquabike, and 2- or 3-person relays. Timing uses disposable ankle-band chips plus helmet, bike frame, and bib numbers. Packet pick-up requires photo ID and individual pickup by each racer. Awards are given for overall, age-group, Clydesdale, Athena, masters, grand masters, paratriathlete, and relay categories.
