The 20 km course utilizes the Woodhaven and Springboard trails, with swimming entries at locations such as Cod Rock and Dog Rock. Water temperatures typically range from 60 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. While wetsuits are optional, swim caps are provided by the organizers and are mandatory for identification. Facilities on-site include washrooms and food for participants.
