Course and logistics
The sprint format is run, then bike, then swim (reverse-order triathlon). The sprint run route heads east toward Peteetneet Road, turns south to a roughly 1.5-mile turnaround, then returns to Main Street into Transition 1. The bike leg is an 11-mile loop through cherry orchards and farms, crossing over a freeway overpass and crossing train tracks twice; racers should use caution at the tracks. The swim takes place in the community pool with athletes “snaking” up and back in lanes to total the allotted distance. The 12U race uses ball fields for the run, a quiet-streets loop for the bike, and four pool lengths for the swim. Chip timing is provided by RunnerCard and printed results are available after finishing. Packet pickup is available the day before the event and on race morning.
